About this game

In Challenge of Nexar, you take on the role of a would-be Spectra-Warrior, flying through warp zones while destroying radioactive beacons.

Each level requires you to eliminate the number of beacons shown at the bottom right of the screen, with higher levels demanding more targets. The beacons are protected by impact-exploding saucers, which can be destroyed for points or avoided. After destroying a saucer or beacon, move away from the debris to avoid being hit. You have 99 seconds to complete each level.
