Astro Chase - There is no Escape © 1982 First Star Software, Incorporated.
A space-themed shoot'em up.
This game was the first release from Fernando Herrera's First Star Software. Fernando Herrera was the winner of the first Star Award given by Atari for programming excellence in submissions to the Atari Program Exchange (APX). The prize money ($25,000) helped start the new software company and accounts for its name.
The First Star manual mentions 34 levels, but there's only 32, after which it resets back to 1.
