In the year 2525 Earth is dead - after years of abuse the world's population was forced to flee the planet and colonize a new home. On route to their destination one of the fleet's scout ships was attacked by an alien hunting party and forced to crash land on a barren rock code named Tempus, on the edge of the solar system. In an attempt to stop the alien force from finishing the job, the crash survivors created two Lightning Barriers that successfully repelled the aliens. They are effective but need a constant supple of energy crystals to power them and with only ten remaining, the aliens are beginning to get through... As a crack pilot in the Barrier Defense Force, it is your job to protect the remaining crystals and buy enough time for more to be mined and the survivors to be rescued. Good luck soldier... 'Lander' style aliens will attempt to transfer crystals to the opposite Lighting Barrier in an attempt to destabilize it. If they succeed the effectiveness of the barrier reduces allowing more powerful mutant aliens to warp in and attack the player. The player can retrieve crystals by killing the aliens carrying them causing them to fall back to the barrier. However, if they fall too far the impact will destroy them. It is therefore advisable to 'collect' the crystals and return them yourself. If all of the crystals are lost more deadly aliens can warp in and attack the player. It's a tribute to Eugene Jarvis's seminal arcade shooter Defender features all the ingredients that made that game a classic.
