Omega Race is a remake of a Bally-Midway arcade game. You control a spaceship and shoot down the enemy "Droid" ships that attack you. Your ship must survive Droid-dropped mines too--but you can shoot them too. The last ship of the Droid flights goes into a spiraling pattern.
Omega Race is an endless game where your goal is to achieve the highest score or complete the most levels. There's no definitive end, just keep playing and trying to improve.
You control a small triangle that represents your ship. The ship can turn, move forward with thrusters, and fire. Movement is challenging; once you start moving, you can slow it down by turning the nose in the opposite direction and using the thrusters. While doing this, you're unable to shoot towards anything you're moving towards.
Bouncing also affects movement. When your ship hits a side of the screen, a wall of force appears, and your ship bounces. You have no control over where it bounces, so be prepared to regain control before running into an enemy ship and dying.
