 After playing through each stage a couple of times to get a feel for the
 game, I realized that each stage seems to be entirely random. There are
 always the same types of enemies and bosses per stage, but they don't seem to
 come in any set pattern. As a result, I am unable to list in detail which
 enemy will come at what point in each stage. Simply review the enemies
 section so you will know what kind of enemies you will run into and get stay
 focused.

 At the start of the third stage, enemy ships will begin to come up from the
 bottom of the screen. These also seem to be random so I suggest not staying
 along the very bottom of the screen after the second stage so you will have
 time to readjust to avoid them.

 Some power ups are much better than the others and it's really just a matter
 of preference. I personally like the powerful lasers since it's good for
 bosses and grouped enemies. Experiment with the power ups until you find one
 you like. When you find one you like, just stick to it and avoid the other
 power ups that will drop from enemies.

 The order of enemies in this game seem to be entirely random as I mentioned
 above. However, they always follow themselves. By this, I mean if there is
 one group of Standard Ships, you will be guarenteed another set of Standard
 Ships behind them. Make sure to keep this in mind so you know which enemies
 to fight, especially the Lower Attacker Ships.

3. - Power Ups
_______________________________________________________________________________
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
In this section, I will list the power ups that will drop from certain enemies.
Just note that some power ups seem to do the same thing.

"P" / "T"  The "P" power up makes your attacks stronger. You will shoot thicker
          lasers and when you hit your targets, it will break in half so you
          can hit a second target.

"F"        The "F" power up will make you shoot five missiles in all directions
          upwards. It is good when there are a lot of enemies spread out but
          it's not very good for grouped enemies.

"L"        The "L" power up will allow you to shoot five quick missiles in a
          straight line. Think of it as a machine gun power up.

Standard Ships           The Standard Ships don't do anything special. There
                        will be a couple on the screen at once and they will
                        all fly in a straight line.

Wave Ships               The Wave Ships will usually come down in groups of six
                        and will wave left and right as they slowly move to
                        the bottom.

Spinning Ships           The Spinning Ships will make similar movements to the
                        Wave Ships except instead of just waving left and
                        right, they will loop around in circles as they make
                        their way to the bottom of the screen.

Group Ships              The Group Ships will stay at the top of the screen and
                        get together. When they are close to each other, they
                        will go down to the bottom. They might stop and move
                        sideways to readjust but they will never move
                        diagnolly.

Bomber Ships             The Bomber Ships will come down to around the middle
                        of the screen and shoot bombs in all directions around
                        it in a large circle. After it shoots the bombs, it
                        will go straight back up to the top of the screen.

Straight Shooter Ships   The Straight Shooter Ships will fly straight down in a
                        line. They won't turn or anything and are fairly quick
                        so be careful when you see them appear on the screen.

Bouncing Ships           The Bouncing Ships will appear from the sides of the
                        screen. They will float down and back upwards in an
                        arch and stop at the top. They will keep making this
                        pattern from side to side.

Lower Attacker Ships     The Lower Attack Ships will appear from the lower left
                        corner and fly upwards while waving from left to
                        right. When they reach the middle of the screen, they
                        will wave back to the bottom and off the screen.

5. - Bosses
_______________________________________________________________________________
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Stage 01 Boss   This boss is relatively simple if you can avoid the other
               enemies that will appear on the screen. He will float around in
               a square pattern along the top of the screen. You will also see
               five guns on the ship, four in front and one in the back.
               Destroy the guns and shoot the glowing orb in the back to
               destroy this ship.

Stage 02 Boss   This boss will move around in the same pattern as the first.
               You will notice seven guns on it this time all in the back,
               five in the front row and two in the back. Try to shoot the
               ones in the middle and shoot the glowing orb in the back in the
               middle of all the guns to destroy this ship.

Stage 03 Boss   This boss will move like the others. It will also have a total
               of seven guns that will shoot at you, five across in the middle
               and two on the outter ends just in front of the previous five.
               Shoot out the guns in the middle and then fire at the glowing
               orb in the back to destroy it.

Stage 04 Boss   This boss will move around the same. It will have eight guns.
               There will be three on each front side along with two in the
               back, both positioned in front of the orb. Destroy the orb when
               you destroy the guns in the middle to defeat this boss.

Stage 05 Boss   This boss makes the same movements but it will start to move
               faster than the previous bosses. There will be a total of nine
               guns on this ship, they will all be in groups of three. One
               group will be in the front while the other two will be on
               opposite corners in the back. Just shoot the orb in the middle
               in the back.

Stage 06 Boss   This boss will move just like the previous boss. It will have
               ten guns total, three in each top corner, one in each lower
               corner, and two in the middle. Destroy the guns in the middle
               to reach the orb in the back.

Stage 07 Boss   This boss will move the same way as the past couple bosses. It
               will have a total of eleven guns on it this time. There will be
               five guns along the side of each wing and one in the back in
               the middle. You will have to destroy the gun in the middle to
               shoot the orb in the back to destroy this ship.

Stage 08 Boss   This boss will make the same movements. This will definitely be
               the toughest boss yet. There will be a gun on each of the six
               corners. There will also be another six guns in a straight line
               up the middle. You will have to shoot the guns in the middle to
               reach the glowing orb in the back.

Stage 09 Boss   This boss will move the same as the rest. It will have a lot of
               guns in the front including one in the center, a line of seven,
               and then three spread out right behind those seven. There will
               also be two guns in the back. Shoot out the guns in the middle
               and destroy two glowing orbs in the back.

Stage 10 Boss   This boss will move as usual. There will be two guns in each
               corner as well as six guns in the middle. Shoot out the guns in
               the middle to reveal the orbs in the back. Destroy the orbs to
               defeat this boss.

Stage 11 Boss   This boss moves like the rest. There will be one gun in the
               middle in the front and that's it blocking you from the two
               orbs in the back. There will be three guns in each front corner
               along with two sets of two guns behind them on each side for a
               total of eleven guns.

Stage 12 Boss   This boss moves like the rest. It looks like the Russian letter
               "zhe," basically an X with a line through it. There will be six
               guns on each side along the cross in the patterns > and <.
               There will also be four guns in the middle in the front. Shoot
               those out to reach the two orbs in the back.

Stage 13 Boss   This boss will move like the others. There are thirteen guns
               total on this large beast of a ship. They will circle the ship
               in the shape of a heart. Be careful because some of the guns in
               the front are gray and blend in with the ship. Destroy the guns
               in the middle so you can aim at the orbs in the back to destroy
               this boss.

Stage 14 Boss   This boss will move in a square as usual. There are a total of
               eighteen guns on this mother ship. They are all pretty much in
               a straight line blocking the orbs in the back. You will have to
               destroy the guns on this one to blow out the orbs and defeat
               the final boss of this game.
