Also, by moving the sights to the top or bottom of the screen you can look up and down. Rotating left and right works in pretty much the same way and is far quicker than the keyboard.
Maybe I've made this all sound far more complicated than it really is, but believe me when I tell you that this system works a treat.
Although the general theme of killing everything in sight is still very much in evidence, CyClones also gives you missions to complete on each level.
For example you may have to rescue a captured scientist, restore power to a spaceship's engines or any number of other mundane tasks. This idea works reasonably well and gives the game a light sprinkling of variety without which it would suffer badly.
Another advantage of this is that there are usable objects lying all over the place to be picked up and generally misused.
