Gameplay
In the game, the player pilots a starship shaped like a mambo fish.[2] There are only two weapon types. However, your ship is helped by two stationary "options" similar to those found in the Gradius series. The "options" are able to shift so that they alternatively fire in three directions: forward, backward, and towards the top/bottom of the screen.
