About this game
Guide the hero across the screen as enemies approach from the distance. Vertical and horizontal movement let you reposition while firing into the scene, rather than travelling through a flat overhead battlefield. A homing missile can seek distant enemies, while a short B press fires lasers. Holding that button charges a wave cannon that is released when you let go. Decide between firing immediately and preparing the charged shot while continuing to avoid incoming threats.
