Gameplay Overview
The player can fire front and backwards. Collecting chips will increase the Level gauge. When reaching 10 levels, the weapon will enhance. Upon reaching Level 20, the weapon will be at MAX power. The player can fire the SP weapon, which can cancel bullets and release gold chips from destroyed enemies. However using the SP attack requires some of the shield gauge to be consumed. If the player is hit with the shield gauge at high level, it will recieve damage and go to red. If hit while shield is red, a life will be lost. Shield slowly replinishes automatically, however, shield can also be replinished by collecting blue crystals from the blue crystal carriers. When clearing a stage, depending on the player`s performance, a rank is given.
