Things get steadily more intense as you progress gently sliding out of the way of a bullet gives way to frantic weaving as you miss a block of them by a pixel or two. You are given three lives and two continues, but getting to the end will be tough until you’ve learnt how best to tackle the waves of enemies even then executing your carefully planned manoeuvres can be tricky. The game can be cleared in under twenty minutes, but (at least with the default settings) it’ll be a while before you can do that.
Boss characters detach themselves from something you’ve been blasting at, before transforming into robot form to sweep about the screen causing you trouble bullets rain down or spiral at you, but they are fun fights. Of course if you are out of your special attack and somehow survive the onslaught it’s very satisfying. Numerous times the screen becomes dense with bullets, requiring a bomb attack to get you out of trouble - assuming you have one left.
These various attackers send their bullets at you in different ways and you’ll soon be weaving about the screen, sliding between attacks from all directions. Sometimes it may be a couple of large craft in your way, other times you’ll be blasting parts off of something as it deploys smaller nuisances. Activity can be seen below, sometimes leading up to the deployment of further trouble, with compartments opening up in the ground.Įnemies include swarms of small simple-looking craft and ground-based attackers, but you’ll also encounter larger more detailed foes (some stretching off the screen) who slowly crumple away as you blast at them. The stages are visually varied even before you travel off-world you’ll be flying over the likes of airforce bases, seas and forests. The “bomb” attack of your chosen craft may actually be a focused energy blast whilst the formation attack may offer lasers or see your support craft cut a path through oncoming enemy fire. There are six planes to choose from in the game that handle differently and have different bomb and formation attacks. A third button also shoots, but here holding it down charges up your “Formation attack” release and your support craft will help you out with an attack of their own. You have a button to shoot (hold down for rapid fire) and one for your bomb attack. Along the way you can collect gold bars for points, additional bombs to help you out and powerups that increase your offensive capabilities whilst also seeing small support craft join you.
Gameplay is straightforward simply blast your way through eight stages, avoiding enemy fire as you go.
