Overview

Players control Mylo Steamwitz (Character), who is always in search of a way to get rich quick. Right now, he's looking to make money on Twibbles, the latest trendy alien pet, before the fad is over. In order to make money for the initial investment, he goes to the Altairian star system in search of treasures, where he stumbles upon a deep network of underground chambers filled with alien technology, treasures, traps, and puzzles. Equipped with missiles and the ability to jump, players must fight their way out, harvesting all the riches of the caves as they progresses. The gameplay is similar to that of another Apogee game, Secret Agent: The Hunt for Red Rock Rover.
