- Learn the icons, it is very important that you know which is good and which
one does harm to your gameplay.
- Learn the weapons and how well they do against certain enemies. Learn by
using but make sure you remember later.
- Learn thy enemy. Every enemy has a weakpoint and they also have very unique
attack patterns. Finding out both will make defeating or avoiding them much
easier later.
- There is more involved in this game than just brainless shooting. Select the
appropriate weapon for the situation, switch often and think about which one
is best suited and when.
Level 1:
Grab the powerups as you fly along. Destroy the ships with lasers and the
turrents are best tackled with the missiles. You can often avoid enemies which
is easier than taking them on but then you don't get points in return.
Boss
HEKTATERIAN (2000 points)
The weak point is the middle section. Lasers work well as well as fire if you
picked it up.
Level 2:
Careful of the Novo fighters from here on on. Don't pick up most of the icons
as they are bad. Learn them from the section before, it's vital you know the
good ones from the bad ones by now.
Boss
HANOMASZUI (4000 points)
Avoid the meteors and shoot it where they came from, these are the weakest
points.
Level 3:
Enemies may now shoot homing missiles at you so be extra careful. Use the warp
at the beginning to skip ahead a bit.
Boss
SHARIPUTRA (6000 points)
When the boss opens its arms, shoot the laser at it. Not too hard.
Level 4:
Similar strategy as in the previous level is required here.
Boss
BONBONERA (6000 points)
Shoot at the head of this long creature. It is very fast, like a snake, and
only lasers are good against it.
Level 5|6:
I list these under one because with the warps you can get ahead very far.
BOSS (5)
This cloud will often disappear. Shoot it when it's there.
BOSS (6)
Use your thunder weapon if you have it for an easy victory. Otherwise be
prepared for a long fight.
Level 7-12:
This is the same as Level 1 to 6. Repeat all six levels until you get to the
sixth boss again. Afer this you will return to Level 1 and the game loops on.
