Can't find the name of this old Mac game!

[Scalymanfish1]

I remember playing alot of old mac games in my mid 90's on my dad's computer when I was 4 or 5 years old and ive found them all except one I really want to play again.

You have a spaceship, and you see it from above, and you have to the enemy spaceships that come in waves. theres 4 different levels and in each level you the map move forwards slowly and you have to survive until you reach the end. And at the end of each level you get points or money for every spaceship you killed, and you can spend that towards weapon upgrades. You begin with shooting a small orange ball, but you can uppgrade to things like red lasers, multiple red balls, rapid fire etc. There are each level has a different theme as the background where you are playing, for example one is in a desert or a sandy planet and another is what i remmeber looked like earth.

the grapihcs weren't like space invaders or galaga, the graphics were better than those games.

thanks for any help

This sounds like Mars rising or Deimos rising. Both are still available from Ambrosia software in their "older games" section. Hope that helps!
