Gameplay Overview

The game has normal shot and focus shot. Normal shot is where options are in a trace formation, while Focus shot makes the option aim in front of the character.

The main mechanic of the game is absorbing, in which the more bullets are absorbed, the bigger the charge shot will be. Killing enemies and bullets with it will generate diamond items.

If the player clears a stage with no excess lives, the standard stock is restored. If the player clears a stage with excess lives, the stock won`t be reset.
