Battle Cross — About this game
Battle Cross sends its spacecraft against formations entering from both sides of the screen. The enemy groups loop around rather than simply crossing once, making an apparently clear edge another possible approach. Rock formations also block a safe flight path, so shooting at the nearest group must be balanced with watching the terrain. Moving into open space before the formation returns provides a better opportunity to fire than chasing it into an obstacle.
