Unpredictable special events may even trigger on subsequent plays.

Difficulty ramps up rather quickly and the better you do, the harder it will get.

Collect as many medals as you can, as you progress further into the game, they will become more valuable and plentiful.

Novice, 3 Minute, 5 Minute modes provide varying levels of challenge as well as a potentially greater variety of enemies and bosses to encounter. There is also a special unlockable mode that provides the greatest challenge.

Freely switch between a wide spread shot (Red) and a narrow vulcan shot (Blue) to better adapt to the situation. Unlock the bonus ship for even greater firepower!
