I thought he did a pretty good job

 

'As it stands, the game is playable but very incomplete. '

 

and most importantly

 

'As previously mentioned, the goal of the game is stop enemy troops without being shot down. Although several of the enemy troops are present in the game, they are completely harmless in this early prototype. As you lazily drift along you will see tanks and anti-aircraft guns that in the final version of the game would have fired on the player, forcing them to ascend upwards to safety. There are also factories, hangars, and trees to spot, but these objects will not attempt to fire on the player. There is also what appears to be a man waving his arms next to an odd object at the end of the course. It is unknown what this is supposed to represent, but it may be a landing zone. Spotting each object is worth a set amount of points, but if the ground is not visible when you first see an object you will not earn any points until you move off the screen and come back.'

 

so you basically drift along and get points when things appear on screen and that's about it.
