Flying Coin Patrol

Back Story

For generations, your country has depended on riches from the sky.  Mysterious winged coins of gold, silver and bronze waft down a mountain valley and into your treasury.

Your mission is to protect the flying coins and the ground facilities that harvest them. 

You have a jet plane with a nose-cone laser. Your controls are minimal. You can fly up and down, climb and dive. Two-dimensional flight at its finest. You don't even have a trigger to pull. The laser fires automatically when lined up on a missile.

At first it was easy targeting the slow cruise missiles that your jealous neighbors were sending against the harvesting stations. Then they started shooting things at you.

Playing Tips

Avoid the coins!

You earn points when a flying coin crosses the screen and exits on the left side. Flying into a coin destroys it (and its potential points) and also damages your plane. (But if you must hit a coin, it's better to hit one of bronze than silver or gold.)

Avoid the fireballs

You need to dodge the fireballs as best you can. You can't shoot them, but they burn out harmlessly if they miss your plane.

Attack the missiles

Line up shots on the red-blue cruise missiles with your nose cone laser, which will fire automatically if you do.The cruise missiles are not aimed at you. However, they do damage to your side if they get all the way across, and that costs you points.

The hunter-killer missile (which looks a little like a killer whale) is coming for you. It's best to line up a laser shot before the hunter-killer gets past your plane.
