Gameplay Overview
The player has 2 shot types. Wide and Open. It also has a bomb system.
The open shot has a mechanic. When not firing the open shot for a period of time, the ship will present glow effects, indicating that focus shot is charging up, and when firing it, it will fire a stronger stream of bullets, and if the player keeps firing the focus shot, it will weaken. To recharge it`s strength, The player must not fire the open shot until the ship charges it long enough to fire the strong open shots stream again. The game also has a shield system, in which it can protect the player ship from dangers. Up to 10 shields can be collected. Be aware that when firing open shot, the shield will be disabled for that firing mode. If the player dies while using open shot with shields collected, 4 shields will be lost.
Controls
If playing with controller, make sure to use Joytokey to map a button for the focus shot, as the game does not have the STGBuilder button config program, and forces focus shot to be used by pressing L3, and that feels uncomftable. A (Wide shot) and B (Bomb) buttons are fine tho.
- Z key: Wide shot
- X key: Bomb
- Shift key: Open shot
