UFO Commando

## Description

_UFO Commando_ is a side-scrolling action game in which the player fights
against an alien faction. The goal of each mission is the same: entering one
of the five vehicles (flying saucer, bomber flying saucer, laser tank, drill
tank, obsidian tank), destroy the enemy base and return to the home base in
one piece. There are four worlds with four levels each.

Each of the vehicles has different abilities, e.g. the drill tank can drill
ways into the underground, but the most important distinction is that the
flying saucers are airborne while the tanks are restricted to the ground. Each
vehicle also has two standard weapons: a laser which can be freely aimed with
analogue stick and a limited amount of missiles which are useful for
destroying buildings and deforming the terrain. Damaged vehicles can be
repaired by returning to the home base.

The player can also leave the vehicle and walk around the level. Then there is
still a laser pistol available and the missiles are replaced with a jetpack.
This can be useful in order to check out multiple vehicles or leave a vehicle
behind which was damaged beyond repair. However, the disadvantage is that the
player character dies after a single hit.
