Atom Smasher

Atom Smasher is a shooter in which the player controls a space ship at the bottom of the screen and fires at enemies. The game bears some similarities with Ozma Wars, but changes a couple of elements. instead of using a screen overlay, the game is in full color, and uses much more complex enemy movement patterns. A large sphere near the center of the screen continuously spawns enemies that move in ellipsoid paths around the screen. Other enemies come from the sides near the player for a sudden ambush. Most of the enemies fire at the player. When all enemies are cleared the sphere in the center explodes and the next round starts. The game no longer uses energy and instead the player has a number of lives. When all lives are lost the game is over.
