Gameplay
Gameplay
The player controls a scuba diver who journeys underwater on a water scooter to save companions from enemy scuba divers. Enemies can be defeated by shooting them with missiles or their water scooters, killing them in the explosion. Likewise, the player's water scooter will explode when shot, out of fuel or hitting an obstacle, damaging the player. The player can abandon the water scooter to prevent damage, though doing so renders them vulnerable to enemy attacks. Levels end after the player rescues all companions in the area.
