Gameplay

The player controls a line of soldiers that gets bigger through a recruiting mechanism. Similarly to Snake, the player must avoid hitting the walls, otherwise the soldiers will die. The soldiers automatically shoots aliens and bombs inside their range. The player must also defuse bombs and defend important locations.

It is possible to upgrade the soldiers through power-ups. The game features several game modes and routes that can be chosen through a node system. The routes are very distinct from each other.
