Reception

Luther Shaw reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World, and stated that "here's another in the long line of aliens-dropping-from-the-skies-being-destroyed-by-your-weapons games. While many versions of the ADFTSBDBYW type of game are very similar to the coin arcade games that they were based upon, this one has a flavor all {{sic|it's}} own."{{cite magazine |last=Shaw |first=Luther |title=Micro - Reviews |magazine=Computer Gaming World |date=January–February 1982 |volume=1 |issue=2 |pages=28}}
