Game instructions:
First click 'Start new game' to start the game. When the new level starts you can move your spaceship with the arrow keys, and fire its laser canon with the spacebar. The special weapons shown at the top of the screen, alongside the number of available shots for each weapon, are fired with the keys 1, 2, 3, 4 or z, x, c, v. To pause the game press the key p. If the controls don't work, click the game screen with the mouse, to give keyboard focus to the game. You can change the language of the interface by clicking the flags.

Problems running the game:
First of all, to run the game you will need to have Java installed. If you don't have that already, then you can install it from here: http://www.java.com.

If you still cannot run the game and are getting a message about your security settings, then it's because the newest versions of Java are overdoing security to such an extent that Java applets now as default cannot run unless they are signed by an official certificate authority. That's a bit too much for a simple game like this, but at least there is a way to get it to run without being signed. Simply add my website to your list of trusted websites (if you do trust it). Then instead of the game being completely blocked from running, you will now get a security prompt where you can choose to run it or not. Here's a link to the official instructions on how to add a trusted website: http://www.java.com/en/download/faq/exception_sitelist.xml.
