Destructo

In Destructo, you lead a mission to destroy Dr. Destructo’s array of ships and ultimately his island hideout across 21 levels. Pilot a plane over a limited area and shoot enemy aircraft so their falling wreckage damages the large target at the bottom of the screen.

Repeated hits on a specific point create a water-spout; three water-spouts sink the current ship or island. Some enemy beings can be destroyed, while indestructible threats must be avoided. A bomb provides one precise attack per level, and a day/night cycle changes the backdrop to the action.
