It's a funny old universe isn't it. One moment you're an average spacedozer driver, destroying empty space stations for a living. The next you're single-handedly taking on an enormous alien invasion fleet ...
You've been told to investigate a unidentified speck on the very limits of the civil space radar screen. It's generally thought to be some sort of large asteroid - however, on your approach to the object it becomes apparent that it's nothing as ordinary as a hunk of space rock. The radar blip becomes bigger and bigger, until suddenly you realise that it's an alien invasion force, consisting of battlecruisers and nimble android fighters. And it's heading directly towards the peaceful planet of New Stratford! There isn't enough time to turn back and alert New Stratford's defence system - the fleet has to be dispatched here and now.
The multi-directional scrolling action is viewed from above, with the spacedozer occupying a central position and flying at speed above the invasion fleet. Pressing the fire button dips the reinforced nose and sends it ripping through the outer shell of the cruiser - destroying it if the dozer is travelling at top speed. A slower speed only results in partial destruction.
Alien fighters attack throughout the demolition. Contact with either an alien ship or bomb weakens the dozers' collision armour, represented by a diminishing bar at the bottom of the screen. Allow the bar to reach zero and the dozer explodes, resulting in the end of the planet-saving mission.
When enough battleships are wrecked, the dozer is promoted to another, more difficult level where another fleet awaits demolition.
