Gameplay Overview

Similar to Raiden, the player can fire the main shot and a bomb. When the player reaches MAX weapon power level, the Super Power will be activated. Super Power acts as a Hyper system that fires strea of 5-way shots rapidly, and also allows the A button to be held. After the Super Power deactivates, the player`s weapon level will be slightly decreased. Super Power can be instantly activated by collecting a P item.

Controls


  • A: Shot
  • B: Bomb

Scoring


Scoring consists of destroying enemies, and collecting bonuses from items.

Weapons


  • Red (Red widespread):
Can fire a spread of wide shots.


  • L (Blue laser):
Fires a stream of forward laser beams. At high power level, the weapon will transform into wide lighting beams.


  • G (Green laser):
Fires a series of forward lasers. At high level, the coverage of the weapon increases

When collecting an weapon color box with the same weapon color variant, 5000 pts. are awarded.

Items


S: Increases player scrolling speed. Grants 5000 pts. if collected on MAX speed level.
Bomb item: Grants an extra bomb.
