May 2026 - Leviathan

[NinjaKat]

Game of the Month for May 2026: Leviathan

Leviathan takes you thirty three seconds into the future, where pop videos inspire crazy fantasies in the minds of ordinary people. Your objective (we were going to call it a mission, but that's a bit pretentious, don't you think?) is to seek out and destroy enemy ships in three excitingly different planet zones:
MOONSCAPE
CITYSCAPE
GREEKSCAPE

Each zone must be crossed, LEVIATHAN destroying all the enemy ships in each zone within the allotted time. If successful, cross to the next zone, if you dare.

You have limited fuel (audible warnings will keep you on your toes), unlimited missiles, 5 lives plus a bonus life every 5000 points, and must have the will to succeed! Extra fuel can be collected by landing on the arrows near the fuel pods in the CITYSCAPE.

Watch the diagonal arrows flashing green to guide you in the right direction to find those elusive aliens, and keep your 3 smart bombs in reserve: you can use them to eliminate all your ememies. (Smart bombs that also blow themselves to smithereens are not really that smart, but they do play their small part in the short history of space shoot-'ems ups).

The timer will monitor your gameplay: if it runs out, you will just have to start again. Sorry!
