Part 1: Ocean

2025 EDIT: The Guardian Legend was a spiritual successor to Zanac, with an added RPG gameplay mechanic. You can find items to increase your firing style and your max health, but scoring enough points will do the same thing. You can also find a multitude of weapons and weapon upgrades to blow up all the alien varmints & critters.

Also you're a fembot transformer off to blow up a rogue planet on a collision course with Earth.
