When the game starts you find yourself in the HX300 descending towards Aminoid X on asteroids. You must make your way down to the planet by hopping from one asteroid to another. In the beginning your vehicle can do only the basic stuff like maneuver left and right and fire it's primary gun which is a machine gun, but later in the game you will be able to add different types guns, one more powerful than the other. Each one is unique: - Magma: a series of orange magma balls. These look like the projectiles from the machine gun but are bigger and more effective.
- Plasma: these look very much like the magma balls but have blue color to them. they split on collision in several directions making them even more effective. The coolest gadget you can get however is a metal sphere that will hover next to you and shoot as you do. Not only can you change your current gun but you can change its too. As opposed to you it doesn't lose it's current gun when you pick up a new one, but instead ads it next to it's arsenal thus getting even more powerful. The available expansions for the metal sphere are
- Missile: shoots off auto-aiming missiles
- Blue magma: directs a blast wave in all four directions
- Purple sphere: three purple balls rotating in circle that act sort as shield
- Mini gun: sprays projectiles all over the place
Collecting more of the current gun will make the projectile size bigger. You can switch the current gun of the metal sphere with the numpad. You can navigate either with the directional key or with the numpad. You can also do short jumps which will help you overcome pits and get on platforms. One very important upgrade that you will find in the game is an upgrade gives your vechacle the ability to climb walls, craw upside-down on ceilings and stick to platforms.

Rename the .zip to .jar, then transfer and install as usual.
I think you might guess that I didn't write the review myself...:D
