"It plays in the style of many old school computer games and features little plot line or story development. The demo is downloadable from macgamefiles.com however it is no longer included on freeverse.com. There are several levels the player is required to complete. It lacks a multiplayer mode but two players can play together on the same computer. It was much less successful than Freeverse's popular WingNuts Series.

It was re-released as part of a 'Best of Original Mac Games' bundle from Freeverse."

"In the game the player is cast as a member of the 'Active Lancer Corps'. He is the lone survivor of a failed attack on the home world of an alien race known as the 'cherries' where he has to face fast unending attacks by the aliens." --Wikipedia.org

Through lots of amateurish jiggery-pokery I managed to find the version 1.0.1 updater on Freeverse's download server, so I've uploaded it here as the second archive. I've also obtained the game on original media and uploaded scans here as the manual.

One of the most underrated top-down-shooters of all time on all platforms!
