falls prey to his attack, the crew escapes in the "Vaus" and enter a
demention of living energy! The battle for freedom takes place over 33
levels of complex and intricate barriers. Will you survive the final
onslaught of DOH?
Move the Vaus left and right. Use you skills to deflect an energy ball
will gradually destroy the walls confronting you. Grey energy blocks
must be hit more than once; some energy blocks are indestructible.
Alien life forms randomly descend to hinder you. Eliminate them on

sharper angle for maneuvering into restrictive places.
