Well I managed 2 one my first go (4 on my second go), which isn&#8217;t great but at least I tried.  Quite a tough little game to be honest.   Go too fast and you run out fuel and over heat, go too slow and the &#8216;Deadly Black Turbos&#8217; will get you.<\/p>\n<p>Good fun and fast paced.   Play area is a little squashed.

Basically &#8211; fly around and wipe out enemy targets (by just flying over them!)  Simple game, made more complex because of a &#8216;3D&#8217; landscape and the compact screen.
