== Gameplay Overview ==
=== Controls ===
''Vulgus'' is a 2 button game. There's no true stage system (though backgrounds do gradually change).
*'''A button:''' Fires the player's main weapon.
*'''B button:''' Fires the player's missile.

=== Items ===
----
Enemies drop powerups at random. A Sakichi spawns when all letter icons are picked up and the player's missile stock is full.

=== Extra Lives ===
----
On default settings, extends are every 40k (20k for the first life). Keep in mind only 4 lives can be kept at a time.

=== Loops ===
----

''Vulgus'' loops endlessly. Upon completion of a loop, the game increases in difficulty.

WIP

== Version Differences ==

There are two versions of ''Vulgus'':

*'''vulgus.''' Referred to as "Set 1" in MAME.

*'''vulgusa.''' Referred to as "Set 2" in MAME.

===Leaderboard characters===

*'''vulgus:''' 10 characters.

*'''vulgusa:''' 3 characters.

===Checkpoint milk===

In '''vulgus''', if missiles aren't used throughout the loop, the final boss (Vulgus) will give 50k points every time it is destroyed. When the player dies, they get sent back to a checkpoint placed before Vulgus, allowing them to gain an extra life, die, and repeat the process several times. In '''vulgusa''' this can only be done once, as the player will spawn into the second loop if they attempt the process again.
