Will the robot fighter succeed? Or will all existance fall to Gorf?
Gameplay
The player controls their Galactic Orbital Robot Force fighter in a journey traveling through several universes, one of which being the UGSF universe. It uses a synthesized voice to represent the emporor Gorf who constantly taunts the player. The players goal is to destroy all the enemies in one universe with they're quark-laser then continue to the next. This is the only game of it's genre that gives the player unlimited shots. The movement of the FS-15 Interstellar Space Fighter is Centipede esque.
Levels
Astro BattlesG.O.R.F. takes a ride through the Space Invaders universe. While traveling through the sky the fighter has a run-in with a group of 24 Invaders. The fighter has a shield but the shield goes down when it fires, so the FS-15 has to be careful with it's shots. |

GalaxiansThe FS-15 enters the UGSF universe, where 24 Galaxian fighters attack it. Basicly the same as Galaxian.(With less enemies.) |
Space WarpThe Robot is travling through a warp-wormhole to the next universe for the final showdown with the flagship. But the last of the alien fleet has not been seen! They move swiftly through the wormhole in an attempt to destoy the 'bot before it can defeat they're leader. But they're shots can be disolved easily. |
FlagshipThe fighter has reached the alien universe. Now it must destroy the Flagship by chewing through it's shield and, blowing it's core. But watch out for falling parts! As well as destroy Gorf. |
