Press at the title screen to start the game.
At GAME OVER, select CONTINUE to start at the beginning of the last area played.
You can CONTINUE up to 4 times.

Control your ship and use power-up weapons and bombs to get to the end of each area.
Powerful bosses await at the end of each area. Defeat the boss to clear the area.
The bomb is a powerful weapon that will destroy enemies and enemy shots within its forward radius but you will need to be careful as it does not provide temporary invincibility.
You will receive an extra ship at 50,000 points. As you increase your score, you can earn more ships.

You will lose a ship if you are hit by an enemy or enemy attack without your shields deployed.
When you lose all of your ships, it's GAME OVER.

There are power-up weapons that change the way your ship shoots and power-up items that add further abilities to your ship.

Power-Up Weapons

There are four types of power-up weapons: "I" "II" "III" "IV."
Continue to collect the same weapon number or Gel capsules to power-up to a maximum of level 6.

	Gel capsule	As your power level increases, your shield will deploy and instead of losing a ship when hit by an enemy attack, your weapon power level will simply decrease.
	I Photon Blaster	You begin the game with this weapon. Power it up to shoot in a maximum of 5 directions. The number of Homing Missiles will also increase.
	II Power Wave	Fires a wide beam. It is a fairly penetrating weapon that can be fired in the direction that your ship is tilting. As your power level increases, the beam will increase its field of attack.
	III Field Thunder	Fires a laser with strong penetrating power. As your level increases, the laser will change its field of attack and pattern.
	IV Ring Blaster	Forms a ring barrier that rotates around your ship. As your power level increases, the number of barriers will increase.

Power-Up Items

There are four types of power-up items: "F" "H" "M" "S." Collect them to increase your number of bombs.
Item effects will change if an different power-up item is collected.

	F Full Fire	Strengthens your power-up weapon and allows you to perform a special attack. Your method of attack will change according to power-up weapon equipped.
	H Homing Missiles	Fires guided missiles along with your power-up weapon. Continue to collect this power-up to increase the speed of your missiles.
	M Multi-Body	Equips a maximum of two smaller versions of your ship to accompany you. Continue to collect this power-up to give your Multi-Body temporary invincibility.
	S Shield	Makes shields even stronger than when deployed by power-up weapons. This item also allows your ship to take a hit without a decrease in weapon power level.
