Star Maze

In the year 2891, explorers have discovered an alien artifact of immense
power. Hidden within the _Star Maze_ are jewels of immense power. Powerful
aliens guard these crystals of pure energy, intent of keeping them safe. The
discoverers of the the Star Maze, unwilling to risk their own life and limb,
have traveled back almost 1000 years to the year 1981, and have published a
simulation of the Star Maze. Now these visitors from the future await the
player who achieves the highest score, to use their space fighting prowess to
acquire the crystals.

In _Star Maze_ , the player controls a small ship which can rotate 360
degrees, always firing from the forward cannons. The player can accelerate
depending on the direction they are facing. The goal is to collect 9 jewels
from the maze to complete a level, while avoiding or destroying enemy ships.
The player has rapidly depleting fuel stores, and must gather resources as
they explore. If the player is struck by alien fire, they are destroyed. The
player starts with a total of 3 ships, and if all are lost, it’s game over.
