About this game

On Planet Zero, an indefinite ice age makes heated nuclear power essential. In Gunrunner, you fly from left to right while shooting waves of aliens from Destrovia attempting to steal the planet’s plutonium.

Jump over boxes and other barriers, using them as cover when needed. Temporary bonus items include three-way fire, a poison smart bomb, a shield, and a jet-pack. If you are carrying a bonus when you lose a life, the item is lost as well.
