Play Tips
- Aim for the head!: Enemies in every stage, aside from boss characters, will lose the most life when shot in the head. Therefore, shooting enemies accurately
in the head is the fastest way to defeat them.
- Choose your favorite route!: Each stage has a number of branching paths. Some branching paths can be simply chosen and some depend upon certain
actions. The key to improving play is to
fi
nd the route that suits you best!
- Use recovery items to regain lost lives!: Although being attacked by enemies will reduce your remaining lives, each stage also contains items that will
increase remaining lives. Also, upon clearing a stage your performance may award extra lives. Repeated play and knowledge of the levels will aid in
gathering extra lives.
- Use grenades effectively!: As well as the gun, you have grenades in your arsenal. These can cause massive damage to enemies, and are best used when
there are a large number of enemies on screen or at sections you
fi
nd dif
fi
cult. Your number of remaining grenades can be increased by collecting
items, and if a stage is cleared with less than 2 grenades remaining you will start the next stage with 3.
- Aim for the boss’ weak spot!: Every stage boss has a weak spot. Shooting this weak spot accurately will help you to avoid boss’ attacks. However, practice
will be required to hit the weak spot accurately whilst the boss is moving.
