Ambush is a game where we will control a spaceship, which is shown using a rear view, in order to survive as long as possible fighting waves of enemies. The game has two sequences. In the first, it will be necessary to make the spaceship take off, something for which we will have a limited time, because at the end of the road there is a wall waiting for us.

Once the ship is in the air, the shooting begins. The ship will need to dodge asteroids and defeat all the enemies that appear on the screen, using an unlimited amount of bullets and with a gameplay similar to Space Harrier.
