The game is majorly inspired in other shmups like Progear no Arashi, P-47 Aces, Operation Ragnarok, E.D.F., Area 88, etc.
Gameplay Overview
The player can use the rapid shot, laser and bomb. Destroying enemies will release blue cubes, which fill up the Bullet Time circle. Bullet Time consists of enhancing weapon power, slowing down time, display enemy HP bars and get gold cubes from cancelled bullets. While having some Bullet Time left on the Bullet Time circle, it can be deactivated. Rescuing astronauts will also fill up the Bullet Time circle. Bombs stock start at 3 (which is the max Bomb capacity). To recover bombs, you must graze enough until filling the Bomb charge gauge.
Scoring
Scoring consists of increasing the multiplier with the rapid shot, and collecting gold cubes with Bullet Time. The multiplier affects the gold cube values, and to fill up the multiplier, the player must attack enemies with the rapid shot or graze bullets. Multiplier reaches up to x8.00.
After clearing a stage, the score is increased by average multiplier, gold bonus, astronaut bonus, graze bonus, live bonus and boss bonus.
