Mixture of a real time and turn based game. You move a vehicle to different spaces on a map with every movement taking one turn, enemies or projectiles can move in that time but some enemies will fire shots or drain health in real time, rocks might become lose and fall down on to you and enemies in real time as well. The goal is to reach the exit of each area while saving as many scientists and finding as many upgrades as you can. As you play through the game you find new abilities like a shield that will recharge over time, the ability to shoot a shock wave out around you, and abilities that require your science bar to fill in order to be used, things like a long ranged weapon to destroy enemies or harder rocks that get in your way or an ability to teleport two spaces away. Simple but fun game with some enjoyable mechanics.
