Phoenix

Game Mechanics

The player controls a spaceship that moves horizontally down the screen by pulling up. The enemies are birds that appear above the ship and attack it in piqué. Tactical innovation is a shield that resists all attacks. However, the player cannot move when the shield is active and must wait about five seconds before using it again.

The player starts with three or six lives depending on the settings.

Each level consists of five phases. The first two oppose the player to extraterrestrial bird squadrons. The next two show 'ufs hatching by revealing giant birds. The last one is a boss fight against the mothership, controlled by an alien sitting in his center. The mother ship Phoenix is one of the first bumps to appear in arcade games.
