The Game
Collecting the bombs in order (a fuse is lit after you collect the first bomb) can provide huge end-of-level bonuses.
When the bonus meter is full, a power-ball will be released, turning all enemies temporarily into coins.
In 2 Player mode, if one player dies, the remaining player will have a chance of collecting a "heart" coin on the next level to bring them back to life.

My Pico-8 version of the 1981 Konami arcade game.
How to Play
Most "enemies" (the Amidar) follow a set movement pattern. The blue enemies are tracers and circuit the outside. On later levels, after a set number of circuits, they start to chase you!
Bonus life at 20,000 and 80,000 points.
Odd Numbered Levels
You are the gorilla. Collect all the "coconuts" whilst avoiding the enemies.
Filling all 4 corners will scare the enemies and you can stun them by running into them.
Even Numbered Levels
You are the paint roller. Once you've filled the first rectangle, you must pick up paint from the edges and fill adjacent rectangles. If you wander too far into a non-adjacent rectangle, the unfilled paint path is cleared.

X - fire/ enter influence mode/ enter lift/ connect to terminal
O - back button when connected to a terminal.
Story
It is the year 2521 and a cyber attack against the underground cities has caused all robots to malfunction.
You control a prototype influence device armed with a low-powered laser and capable of taking control of these robots. Your task is to clear the 8 city levels of all rogue robots.
Hold X to enter influence mode and run into another unit to pair with it. This is achieved by fighting for control of the robot's cpu. Failure to do so will result in your own circuitry burning out.
Use lifts to move between city levels and use terminals to access the central database. Power coils are positioned at various points allowing you to recharge.
Be careful of robots with short range 'disruptors' and use the terminals to view robot classes that are immune to disruptor damage.
How To Play
The objective of the game is to clear all 8 city levels of robots.
Here's a YouTube video playthrough, almost to the end.
