About this game

Battle Formula changes its vehicle between a car, boat and aircraft as the route changes. In car form, the turret can be aimed manually or automatically toward enemies. The C item switches the turret mode, making pickups relevant to how you direct attacks. P items improve abilities including firepower, movement and jumping. Boat sections carry over the current power level but do not offer further upgrades. Enemy shots and wall collisions reduce life, so navigating the route matters alongside firing at targets.
