Implosion

Implosion is an action arcade shooter released in 1986 for Commodore 64, Commodore C64/128/MAX, and ZX Spectrum. The player infiltrates a planet on a collision course with Earth and must weaken its defenses by destroying large energy balls.

After all energy balls in a level are eliminated, a portal appears. It must be entered within ten seconds, while enemy creatures attack the player's ship from the front. Contact drains energy, and running out causes a life loss.

Destroying special crystals produces smaller crystals that can be collected for additional energy, improved shields, or extra points.
