it was a side-scrolling shooter where the stated goal was to collect all the parts of your space-ship and turn it into a mech that amounted to nothing more than a really tall, easily shot space-ship. then you're supposed to kill this space dragon thing to beat the game but if you kill him you just keep going until it loops back to the beginning and you run into the dragon again, effectively accomplishing nothing.
the looping thing was annoying and what was worse is it only takes about 3 minutes to progress through the entire game before you're back at the beginning. it's not even like pac-man or something where you keep doing the same levels but they get harder. it's
exactly the same no matter how many times you loop through it. plus it's super ugly.
