Overview
Tornado places the player in control of a robot tasked with defending a circular “tube” playfield filled with capsules at the perimeter. Enemies emerge from the centre of the tube, and the robot must destroy them before they destroy the capsules. The setting is abstract and futuristic rather than narrative-rich.
The player moves the robot around the perimeter of a cylindrical or radial play-area and fires inward toward waves of incoming enemies. The objective is to clear all enemies each stage before the capsules around the edge are destroyed.
