Gameplay
The player maneuvers a car to collect four treasures—one in each corner of the screen—while avoiding computer-controlled Mars Cars[2] (which look more like aliens than vehicles). Getting touched by a Mars Car results in loss of a life. The player's car is allowed to drive through and remove the barriers making up the maze, but Mars Cars cannot. When all treasures are collected, the player can start the next level by driving into the warp area on the right side of the screen. There are sixteen levels.[2]
gollark: You probably can copyright DNA sequences, although probably not ones which come from some existing natural thing.
gollark: The trouble with saying that lifesaving medicines shouldn't cost loads is that developing and testing new medicines is *very expensive*, and for rare conditions that's not split across many people. That only applies in *some* cases, though.
gollark: "Great" if you like what's effectively cosmic horror, I suppose.
gollark: <@!336962240848855040> There's a great series of SCP Foundation stories about "antimemes", which are sort of what you're talking about: http://www.scp-wiki.net/antimemetics-division-hub
gollark: Ah yes, "security", because Apple's designs are perfect and those who change them will merely destroy that perfection.
