Gunstar or Gun Star is a nice Little budget shooter. What sets it apart from most other Amstrad games is that it really embraces things to be RANDOM.

Some... 'interesting' design choices (motherships don't shoot???) but technically quite nice :)
What's that carrot doing there! :laugh:

Yes, they shoot, see time 15:30
Oh, so one has to wait 15 minutes to get shot at by them? :D
If you are a good pilot, then even longer ;)
The station & robot & whatnot does all shoot at you, but is thankfully not too hard to avoid. Most enemies do have a "blind spot" where you can hide temporarily .. or you can make a blind spot by quickly taking down 1-2 of the turrets. The extremely fast diagonal shots is usually what gets you. Of cause the true test in the game is if you have the patience to not shoot wildly & blow yourself up with a overheating laser.
Toughest is getting thru the meteor storms. Definately some "balancing" issue with the gameplay but i do like how random everything is in the game (random space station layouts, storms, colour of ships, name of pilots, etc).
