Star Skimmer

2025 SEUCK Compo Entry #13 and overall winner of the competition.

That pesky Nitwup Empire is at it again, trying to take over the Earth. (What's their problem?)

The Federation's active top pilots are busy elsewhere; Captain Ishtar is off to some backwater world called "Petit-4." So it's up to the semi-retired Cole Skimmer, decorated Star Captain, to stop the invasion force.

Speed away to the Asteroid Belt, where the Nitwups have established a beachhead, and put an end to their plans. Oh, and the Nitwups have trapped several of our astronauts - try and pick up as many of them as you can.

Godspeed, Captain Skimmer!.

HINTS & TIPS

------------

- Pick up trapped astronauts to gain vital bonus points.

- You are flying VERY close to the asteroids, so don't bump into cliffs and enemy structures.

- The enemies take careful aim! Keep on the move.

- When you encounter a boss ship, press UP to fly past it. (But you'd better take out its guns first!)
