Summary

Aquattack throws you into four distinct stages, each with its own twist on the action formula. The first two levels have you piloting a motorboat, cruising left‑to‑right while dodging or blasting foes, and you must keep an eye on a dwindling fuel gauge that can be refilled by snatching supplies dropped from friendly planes. The third stage swaps the boat for a hang glider, trading fuel management for pure aerial combat, and the final level becomes a tense escort mission where you ferry a single bomb across a guarded energy field under a strict time limit.

You can survive up to nine hits, but the real challenge is the score chase; every enemy destroyed and every refill collected pads your tally. After clearing the quartet of levels, the game loops, cranking up enemy speed and density, turning the experience into an increasingly frantic marathon toward the inevitable final death.
