Basic Play
Pilot your ship through a number of stages, and defeat the boss of each stage.

If your ship gets shot or touches an enemy or an obstacle, you will lose a shield bar. If you lose all of your shield bars, the game will end and the continue screen will be displayed. To continue your game, press before the countdown ends. You can continue up to three times.

 Satellites
Your ship is aided by two satellites, whose attack style changes depending on the weapon you have equipped and the weapon’s level. To change satellite formation, press .

The satellites are immune to standard bullets, and damage other ships upon contact.

 Formations
The available formations depend on the weapon equipped and its level. When the satellites are separated from the ship, they attack with a weaker version of the main weapon and the ship attacks with standard bullets.

Unity The satellites fly alongside the ship and make its shots stronger.
Circle The satellites circle around the ship in a protective formation.
Follow The satellites follow the ship around the screen. This becomes available at weapon level 3.
Homing The satellites home in on enemies near the ship, decreasing the chance of missing your shots. This becomes available at weapon level 5.
