About

The game centers around the main character of Apollo who progresses through the game in an alternating format that switches between platform, side-scrolling action and side-scrolling shooter action. The goal of the series is, stereotypically, to destroy an evil boss Goruza, rescue a princess (in this case, Princess Maria) and save the planet.
