About Spectar (revision 3)
Whummel pilots navigate a 9x9 grid maze to hunt alien invaders using a 4-way joystick and a single pushbutton for shooting. Players must evade Rammers, which are evolved Targs, and Spectars that frequently shoot at the ship. This maze shooter supports up to two players who alternate turns during gameplay.
