Cosmonut

In Cosmonut, a battle between two giant robots threatens the planet of Cybor. As the worker-droid Cosmonut, you must enter your robot’s head, eliminate enemy creatures, and restore its strength before its power runs out.

The main action is a scrolling, top-down maze game. Your laser has limited power, while contact with enemies costs one of your three lives. Doorways lead to rooms containing side-view arcade challenges, including shooting enemies, avoiding meteors or bombs, and piloting your robot against its opponent.

After completing the first maze, you must tackle a second one. Sealing the rooms in both mazes opens the Central Control Room, where you can strengthen your robot before the final battle.
