Space Fox

The player pilots a spacecraft capable of omnidirectional movement and forward weaponry, progressing through increasingly challenging extraterrestrial stages. Adversarial vessels advance in formations; upon their defeat, they often yield enhancements such as propellant, defensive capabilities, and augmented armaments. 

Each stage imposes fuel constraints; depletion results in the loss of a life. Stages culminate in a terminal confrontation and feature a resupply station for armament acquisition and resource procurement. The vessel is equipped with finite defensive shielding, enabling temporary invulnerability against hostile entities.
