Synopsis

Frenetic is a traditional vertical-scrolling shoot'em'up. The action takes place across eight levels, set both in space and on the ground (with environments such as a jungle planet and a water world). While most levels have a technological theme, some feature organic enemies and scenery, reminiscent of games like R-Type or Xenon 2. In keeping with tradition, each level features a huge end boss.

The player's ship can collect a variety of power-ups: lasers and missiles, firing forward, backward or sideways. Accelerators and shields are also available. Power-ups are revealed by destroying certain enemies or special power-up capsules, and several are given to the player for free at the start of a level. Weapons can be upgraded by collecting the same power-up several times.

The game features a two-player mode, with two ships moving against the aliens at the same time.
