Gameplay Overview
The player can attack enemies with the main shot to increase the bullet neutralizer circle, and when the circle flashes rainbow, it means it`s at MAX. Using the bullet neutralizer circle will turn bullets into gold skulls. Collecting gold skulls will increase the multiplier, and when the multiplier reaches x24.00, big orange skulls will appear when canceling bullets with the bullet neutralizer circle. Another function that the main shot has is that when attacking large enemies long enough, it will drain their soul and when killing them with the laser, extra points will be granted. Keep in mind that when drainin large enemy souls, they will become more agressive.
Scoring
Scoring consists of killing enemies, use the bullet neutralizer circle to cancel bullets and increase the multiplier and attack large enemies with the main shot to drain the souls of big enemies and get extra score.
