Game Modes
- Arcade Mode – An arcade-like mode in which the player advances through all six stages with the goal of defeating each stage’s boss.
- Unlimited Mode – A mode in which you can challenge your limits and choose any stage to see how long you can survive.
System
- Level Up – When you gain a certain amount of experience points by destroying enemy ships and the like, you can level up and enhance your skills. Skill enhancements appear at random from three to four options in the “Main Weapon,” “Options,” and “Power-Ups” categories, and one enhancement can be chosen.
- Main Weapons – There are three main weapons: “Vulcan,” “Laser,” and “Plasma.” Power and attack range change depending on power-ups, and the ultimate evolution can be achieved by meeting the right conditions.
- Option #1 – These follow the player’s ship and attack automatically at fixed intervals. Up to six can be equipped.
- Option #2 – In addition to the Vulcan, Laser, and Plasma options, there is a “Unique” option, and each has multiple armaments.
- Power-Ups – Power-ups can enhance the ship’s attack power and durability, as well as its speed, luck, and more.
- Items – Items with various effects can also be used.
- Missions – Rewards may be given by meeting certain conditions during a stage. By clearing a rare bonus mission, there is a high chance you may enter a rush state where bonus missions may occur.
