Absolutely bizarre game. This vertical shmup is cute and of course it's brutal. You can switch mode for your options by using second button.
In first mode options are stationary. They can block enemy bullets but also they will be destroyed after getting hit. You can get up to five options.
In second mode options will follow you like in Gradius games. But unlike Gradius games they'll also change shooting direction relatively to your character position. Enemy bullets will fly through those options but it also means you can't lose them in this mode. Both modes are really important for clearing this game.
You can also get speedups, shot powerup and shield which protects you from getting four hits. All those powerups are really important and I can't imagine recovery in stage 6. Stage 7 recovery is also brutal because of section after boss rush and I did a silly mistake during boss rush. Luckily I've reached stage 7 without losing lives so all those extra lives are really helpful this time. You can also milk some extra points because there is no clear bonus.
It's really weird how everything except your character slows down when many objects are on screen. Also hitbox detection is really broken. For example balls on stage 5 will hit you twice if you go through them - you can still survive if you have enough shield hits. But seems like if you do autofire then balls will hit only once. And if many balls are on screen and you do a weird diagonal movement (11:03) they will not hit you at all. Maybe conditions are wrong but that's how it usually works for me. Insane.
