Kozmik Kroozr
Kozmik Kroozr is an action arcade game developed by Bally Midway in 1982. Players control a spaceship navigating through space, shooting at enemies and obstacles while avoiding collisions. The game features vertical scrolling gameplay where the ship moves across the screen, firing projectiles at incoming threats. Controls are straightforward, using a joystick to move the vessel and a button to shoot. The game progresses through multiple waves of increasingly difficult enemy formations. Players must survive successive waves to advance, with difficulty ramping as they progress through the stages.
