Five stages, five bosses
Star Lancer.
A side-scrolling space shooter with a power bar you play like a hand of cards. Grab glowing pods to light a slot, then cash it in for Thrust, Seekers, Twin shot, a piercing Beam, up to four Drones that trail your flight path, or a Ward shield. Fly through caves, an asteroid belt and a crystal canyon to five multi-part bosses.

How to play
Star Lancer
Fly right through five stages, shoot everything and beat each boss.
- Shoot enemies and grab the glowing pods.
- Each pod lights the next slot on the power bar.
- Use power to cash in the lit slot, like speed or a better gun.
- You lose a ship when hit; lose them all and it's over.
