Cosmic Tunnels

In Cosmic Tunnels, you are the principal defender of Sirref, the only habitable planet in the Relffok Galaxy. With energy supplies running dangerously low, you must travel through four Cosmic Tunnels to reach the asteroids supplying the planet's power.

Gameplay

Each asteroid involves several stages. Guide your spacecraft upward while avoiding falling meteors, then fly through a tunnel in a third-person view while shooting or dodging space mines for 25 seconds. Afterward, land on a pad while avoiding defensive missiles, with gravity and inertia affecting your movement.

Once on an asteroid, leave your ship and collect four energy bars one at a time. Creatures patrol the area, while special pads can launch you into the air or provide a temporary jetcoptor. After collecting the bars, return through the stages to your base. Energy and astronauts remaining determine your bonus before the next tunnel attempt.
