WALKTRHOUGH

O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O
| Level 1 - Clear Enemy Defense #1 |
O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O
Start shooting the blue diamond enemies for power ups. There are ground enemies
below that can only be defeated by missiles. There is a mini wave of spaceships
that fly by. Be sure to get the "G"s on the way. Keep dodging enemy bullets as
the majority of the enemies here are attacking from the ground. The screen will
eventually stop scrolling and you'll face a mini-boss.
-----------------
Mini Boss Fight
Difficulty: 1
Shoot the boss as it flies around the web and try to hit the red nerve on the
top of it. It will attack by sending out try bullets which are easy to avoid,
ghost ships that attack in threes with a kamikaze attack and multi laser
attacks.
-----------------
After the Spider Web Fighter is defeated, the screen scrolls again. And another
miniboss fight occurs
-----------------
Mini Boss Fight
Difficulty: 2
This mini boss looks like Bull's skull with guns replacing the eyes and a
gatling gun for a nose. It flies back and forth shooting blue bullets at you
which are easily avoidable. When it stops moving, stay in the middle at attack
the red circle above the gatlin gun where you are safe until the ground enemies
show because this guy pulls an ace up the sleeve with dual lasers that get you
by surprise but they'll miss if you stay level with the boss. So you know the
screen is scrolling as you fight.
-----------------
More diamond like enemies show and give you powerups. There are also more
swooping enemies and ground enemies whose bullets you avoid and when the screen
stops scrolling there is one more enemy to beat before the boss and it is a
hatch that shoots missiles which can be destroyed.
-----------------
Boss Fight
Difficulty: 5
The boss flies around in a circle and shoots blue bullets from both wings and
are harder to avoid. Shoot the wings off as you avoid its circular movement.
During the fight, the boss will stop for a second and the wings will spread
and shoot missiles that home in on you but can be shot. Destroy one wing and
the boss with fly back and forth and shoot multi green lasers and try to stay
level with you. Destroy the other wing and it will fly in circles again and
sometimes reverse directions as it still shoots green lasers still in addition
to some orange bullets that turn to blue stars and back as they follow you.
Start shooting the eye at the bottom of the ship and soon the boss will make
like an elephant, fly to the center of the screen, blow up and die.
-----------------
O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O
| Level 2 - Clear Enemy Defense #2 |
O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O
You are now flying over the moon's surface. Kill the blue diamonds for powerups
and shoot the gold ships swooping down at you. Uh oh! 2 big enemy gun ships are
on the sides and they look mean. Avoid the bullets as much as possible and try
to take the gins out as often as possible. If things couldn't get any worse
a even bigger ship comes from behind and conjoins with the two ships and
there is a 4th ship that appeared earlier and connects to the already big ship
and off to the mini boss fight you go.
-----------------
Mini Boss Fight
Difficulty: 7
Shoot the guns on the sides first and it is going to be hell dodging bullets
but hang in there. The piece in the middle will break and fall off. Then there
is an ever bigger piece of the ship where you must destroy every gun on the
ship. The ship will be severely damaged and off to the next section of the
ship. 2 orange ships await. They shoot a wave of bullets when they open up
and they are tough.
There are 3 rocket boosters on the ship which blow out fire like it's blasting
off. Stay at the bottom and middle when they do so. The screen will scroll to
the top and some kamikazes will swoop down on you then scroll back. The hatch
will open up and you fly inside
-----------------
More ground enemies are all you have to worry about here but it is not easy,
many bullets to dodge here and powerups to collect. There are also glass
looking enemies that spin by and are invincible. Avoid them period. Keep
shooting and bombing your way through. The screen will stop and the boss
appears.
-----------------
Boss Fight
Difficulty: 5
The boss is a side scroller as it moves left and right on a track. Be prepared
to lose many lives as this boss is super tough. Even though it is suicide, you
are safer if you are level with the boss because canons wll come up where the
boss isn't and blast you big time. Then you got 4 things protecting the boss
as you avoid bullets. Focus on the eye and keep at it till you finish him off.
-----------------
When you win, the ship blows up and you make a hasty escape.

| Level 3 - Clear Enemy Defense #3 |
O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O
There is an extra life to pick up in this level don't miss. It's under one of
the big ground enemies. There are many ground enemies and as usual, powerup
enemies to begin. The ground enemies spray lots of bullets and homing bullets
so be on your toes. There are new enemies that appear and shoot fire pillars
at you. Some more new enemies swoop on in as well. As you fly you'll notice a
wierd vehichle moving along a track. It releases little blue cored ground
enemies. Shoot the red core to destroy the surface. It will still move till it
reaches the end of its track and scroll off screen. You are now at the part
where there should be a fork in the background (3-way track). There is a weird
object that looks like a closed eye that rolls up the middle track. After a
while the pod which looked like a close eye comes loose and inserts itself
into another container.
-----------------
Mini Boss Fight
Difficulty: 3
This mini boss has 2 blue flamethrowers circling the middle of it as the mini
boss moves around on the track. It will release it blue flame balls and reveal
its orange core and shoot homing missiles at you and repeat its pattern. If
you stick close when the core is revealed and the boss is at the bottom, you
can shoot the missiles or be missed by them. Be sure to move away when the
flame tails arrives. When the core is gone, so is the boss.
-----------------
More powerups to collect from the usual enemies and some ground enemies as well
kill the swooping enemies and then you'll come across bubbles that if you don't
shoot them then they become kamikaze fighter jets and fly straight down at you
so shoot or avoid the bubles quickly. The lasers are in the background so they
are harmless.
-----------------
Boss Fight
Difficulty: 4
A big ship appears and moves in a pendelum pattern shooting bullets. Aim for
the middle of it. When it is destroyed, the boss will release its fists which
shoot homing missiles that you can destroy. The fists move in small circles.
The first will soon reattach and the boss flies to the bottom of the screen
and shoots off a snake-like group of spheres. Avoid them period. Soon the boss
flies to the bottom again and sucks them back in. The fist will come out again.
While fighting the fists, you can also shoot the boss's front section. If
you defeat a blue core on the front, a fists dies as well. Defeat both
and the boss falls.

| Level 4 - Clear Enemy Defense #4 |
O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O
It seems like your in the middle of a canyon. Powerup at the start as usual.
2 purple tricky enemies appear and they fade in and out shooting a wave of
bullets and homing missiles. Then more enemies appear circling some domes.
After the second one another big ship appears and it shoots lasers that will
blast you. It will fly off so don't worry. It's not over yet though there are
kamikazies, ground enmies, and falling glass plates to worry about. After 2
sets of cross pattern of 5 ships
-----------------
Mini Boss Fight
Difficulty: 2
This is the mini boss of level 1. Same as before except for some enemies
interfering.
-----------------
There are lots of Gs and Ks to collect here. Soon you'll be in the middle of
some place where vacuum beams pull you to the side while falling glass plates
come down.
-----------------
Boss Fight
Difficulty: 1
This boss has many guns and a split section. Why give this boss a 1 in
difficulty you ask? Simple! Use your thunder armor attack twice and it's over.
Too easy!
-----------------
O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O
| Level 5 - Clear Enemy Defense #5 |
O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O
This is fought over water. There are many big airships to deal with. They will
fly off the screen soon so no need to fight much. The miniboss is a familiar
one.
-----------------
Mini Boss Fight
Difficulty: 4
This is the boss of level 1. It will fly away for a little then come back to
fight. Nothing changed here. It is slightly easier than it was in level 1.
-----------------
There are the same enemies for the most part, with a new enemy shooting a
blue flame tail. Purple ships appear but are easily destroyed. There is hardly
any more to explain here except from the usual. There is however a water
enemy that dives and rises as it shoots at you. Stay on your toes. You don't
need to kill it. More falling glass and flame tail airships appear. Try to
get away if you can. At the end, an underwater enemy appears
-----------------
Boss Fight
Difficulty: 7
This boss starts underwater and shoots missiles. it will eventually expose
its four guns before surfacing and exposing it's core. Aim your shots at it
and avoid the boss's spiraling green circles that move in circular motions
The boss dives in after a while to shoot missiles then surfaces again.
The shield armor helps a little. Soon the boss sinks and dies.
O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O
| Level 6 - Clear Enemy Defense #6 |
O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O
Everything is more of the same for now.
-----------------
Mini Boss Fight
Difficulty: 2
The mini boss of Level 1 is back again
No need for strategy since you should already know how to beat him
-----------------
More of the same here. Be sure to pick up the Thunder and BlackHole armor
on the way. There is a moving pyramid to watch out for. There are also those
orange ships that harrassed you in level 2 and ships that shoot a
big beam at you.
Another old enemy appear but he goes down easily. Nothing new here except
for some of the bigger old enemies from other levels appear like the illusion
ships from Level 5 and finally new enemies appear that rain fireballs but that
is all the new enemies for now.
-----------------
Boss Fight
Difficulty: 9
Boss from Level 3. need we say more? Unfortunately, yes. The boss has a lot of
new attacks including a capture beam and 3 rocket beams from that big ship in
level 2. Keep avoiding the attacks if you can then a piece of the ship at the
top will come off and attack. Defeat it and the ship falls. But the ship part
retreats below and you follow it
-----------------
O =-=-=-=-=-=- O
| Final Boss |
O =-=-=-=-=-=- O
Difficulty: 10
The retreating piece assemples into a huge head which connects to the body
and this is the last boss. It walks around the stage. First it will try to swat
you then it makes a fist that sends spiraling fireballs at you. It will then
put its hands together and send enemies at you from other levels. This guy is
cruel. Shoot, this whole game was cruel! When the head opens, it reveals its
weak spot but shoots at you. The weak spot is that 3 core in its mouth
Shoot its weak spot enough times and it stays exposed. Start unloading on it.
The enemies are pf minor threat. Keep at the weak spot and its over. You Win!
