About this game
Star Castle PC puts a small fighter against a battleship protected by three rotating energy walls. Shoot gaps through the rings and line them up long enough to hit the centre. The battleship fires back through the opening, while smaller homing torpedoes pursue your ship.
From the title screen, I opens Instructions and P starts play. This version uses Ctrl to rotate left and Alt to rotate right. Either Shift key applies thrust, and Space fires. These are turning and thrust controls: the ship continues drifting after thrust is released, so short bursts give you more room to correct its course.
The original instructions allow you to shoot down the smaller pursuing torpedoes, but warn that the plasma cannon cannot be destroyed. Ring sections award different points, and destroying the central ship pays a larger level-dependent bonus. An extra ship is awarded at ten thousand points. Escape leaves the current game; the Options menu offers sound choices.
