The briefing

About this game

Goldrunner is a vertically scrolling shooter set after Earth is evacuated due to environmental pollution. During the evacuation, spacecraft must pass through Triton, whose inhabitants defend their enormous space stations, known as rings.

Players pilot a small ship inside each ring and reduce its energy by destroying everything within. Enemy contact damages the attackers rather than the player, but mines can destroy the ship after up to five hits, while colliding with an indestructible building causes instant death. A turbo boost is available, and bonus rounds between levels provide opportunities to increase the high score.
