GENERAL

You have the ability to fly and shoot down the crowds of
meteorites and satellites lacing the sky, but not the ability to
disappear--until the dreaded black hole appears and pulls
everythig into its endless abyss. To break free, all your skill
is required. Each kind of satellite presents its own special
danger, so the challenge of Satellites and Meteorites promises
hours of exciting play.
