About this game
Control secret policeman Nova, using jumps, sliding and an eight-direction boomerang attack to advance against Delta. At the start, you can choose among the first four stages, giving you a say in the order of the opening missions. Defeating a mid-boss grants a powered suit with a special ability. Its use depends on the energy gauge: when that runs out, the suit becomes unavailable. Moving through a stage therefore involves both choosing attack angles and deciding when to spend suit energy.
