The default controls for this game use the arrow keys to rotate the drone, and the up arrow to thrust. Pressing the space bar will fire your laser, which will come in handy for killing sentient alien fungus. The B key starts the tractor beam, and the N key will release the orb (if you have it) or cut the tractor beam off.

These controls can be changed by clicking options, which appears on the beginning page. When switching the controllers, make sure to pick controls that are easy to remember and accessable.

Scoring

Each level, which are broken down to three mine shafts, have a number of possiblitles to gain points. Though adding up the points may sound great, remember that the mission is to get the Kreludan Metal to the Kreludan Mining Corporation building, which has a large glowing area.

Levels

Level 1-1

This is one of the easiest levels of the game. Why? Well all you have to do is lower the ship a little so that the tractor beam can pick up the orb and carefully make it to the Kreludan Mining Corportation Building. Easy huh? There is a blue gem hidden on this level. To get the gem, maneuver the drone to the far left side of the screen. At the top, there should be a piece of rock which looks to be moving. Using the red laser, blast away at the rock. Slowly pieces of the rock will chip away. Once the rock is gone, the blue gem will be clear. WARNING- The tunnel to get the gem is pretty narrow; take your time to get to the top, then turn the ship around. Using the tractor beam, pick up the gem. Once the beam "touches" the gem, it will be absorbed into the ship.

Level 1-2

This level offers the 1st taste of the alien scum looking to blast the ship out of the sky. By turning the ship around, blast the fungus to gain 5 points. Rotate the ship to the normal position and thrust a little to the right, just enough to get down the verticle drop. The orb is at the bottom. Grab it and quickly head to the top of the shaft, but be careful. If the orb crashes into the wall, it will cause the ship to blow up.

Level 1-3

There are a total of 6 nasty, green, booger looking aliens on this level. When the level first starts, the ship is hovering directly over one of them, with another alien right next to it. On the ceiling to the far right (over the Kredulan Mining Coroperation) there are 2 aliens; to the far left, there's another one. After destroying those, which is optional, slowly work down the shaft. Mid-way there, the shaft will merge toward the left. Moving down a little more, another space alien and the golden orb. Get the orb, and then either speed toward the top of the shaft, or take your time. Either way, do not allow the orb to hit the walls of the mine, or it will blow up. When this level is completed, you will receive an extra life!

Level 2-1

Fourteen aliens, one mission: get the orb. From the start, there is one alien right below the ship. There's another alien in the top right hand corner; shoot it. Now, back to where the first alien was at, thrust a little to the right in order to gain access to the tunnel. Using the tunnel next to the alien, slowly work down the shaft. Unlike level 2, there are 3 aliens waiting here. Blast them out of the sky and continue down the shaft by going toward the right. Moving down a little more, merge to the left, then to the right, all the way to the bottom. Once at the bottom of the shaft, move to the left and meet up with another alien. There will be an alien on the left. Thrust up; the orb will be on the right, an alien on the left, and two aliens on the ceiling, one of which is over the orb. After getting the orbs, make your way through the tunnels, dodging those aliens left behind

Level 2-2

This level can be extremely easy. The level begins with the drone hovering next to the Kredulan Mining Corporation plant, and a space alien. Blast the alien and work down the tunnel. Once getting to the bottom and dispaching the alien, move to the left, and deal with another alien on the ceiling. The golden orb and a blue dot are also visible. The blue dot is NOT, the blue gem. These dots, when shot, will move the walls or unblock a path. On this level, by shooting the blue dots, a slit in the wall will rise. More aliens will be there. Either, complete the board without killed all the aliens, or take the risk and open the tunnel.

Level 2-3

Remember those blue dots from the previous level? Well, there are a lot of those in this level. Start off by blasting the alien to the right. Working down the shaft, kill the alien, open the gate, and go down. There are two aliens on the right wall. Kill them and continue heading down. You should be near a station where the blue gem is. Using the tractor beam, collect the orb. After heading lower down the passage, kill another alien, grab the next blue gem, and pick up the orb. Going back the way you came, head out of there and drop the orb. After beating this level, you will gain another extra life.

Level 3-1

Blue gems are your best friend and there are a lot of them on this level. Heading to the right, where the level started, kill the fungus and open the door. Going through the door and down the shaft, decide whether or not to kill both of the space fungus aliens that are there, or skip them. There is a diamond near the refinery. Again, use the beam to pick it up for the extra 20 points. Remember, it's not necessary to touch the gem; once the tractor beam touches it, it will be asbored into the ship. Go back through the passage, hitting the blue dot on the wall to re-open it, go to the left and kill the space fungus. There should be another blue gem in sight; collect this gem, then hit the switch and go down the shaft. Killing the evil space fungus, get the diamond, and beam up the orb. Go up the passage, open the door, and go back to the refinery.

Tips to Win

• Slow and steady wins the race, or in this case, the metal. If you go fast you're going to die fast, so go slow and be patient.
• Type kreludor once per game to gain a life. It is best to type this on the 1st level. Trust the ship up, before collecting the gem, and type really fast.
• On the first level, go to the top left corner. You'll see a part of the ceiling that is shaking. Fire your laser at it until all of it breaks off.
• At the top will be a blue gem you can pick up with your tractor beam to gain 20 extra points.
• If you're not going for a high score or trying to get used to the game, don't try to kill the SAFs and just concentrate on getting the metal.
• If the metal is swinging out of the control and it looks like it might hit a wall, release it (by pressing n) and it will appear back where it was originally.
