How to Play

You control a lone fighter plane against endless waves of enemy aircraft, tanks, ships, and massive screen-filling bosses.Your mission involves three objectives which require you to stay alive while gaining maximum points to defend the world against Destiny.

• Movement: Use the joystick (or D-pad) to navigate your craft across the screen, dodging a mesmerizing, often overwhelming, barrage of enemy fire.
• Main Shot: Your primary weapon fires continuously. Keep pressing the button to generate an unbroken stream of bullets.
• Bomb/Sub-Weapon: Your most precious resource. The weapon produces a powerful attack that erases all bullets while causing destruction to every foe on the battlefield. The item serves as your escape tool when you face dangerous situations.
• Power-Ups: Destroy specific carriers or enemies to release floating "P" icons. Collect these to power up your main weapon through several levels, increasing its spread and damage. Extra bombs and points become available through other icons.

Tips & Tricks

• Bomb for Survival, Not for Style: Players tend to keep bombs because they believe higher scores will result from this action while their main task requires them to complete the level. Use the bomb early if you feel trapped—a lost life costs more than a saved bomb.
• Learn the Paths: The game establishes predetermined locations for enemies to appear while their attack movements will always follow the same sequence. Replay stages to learn where the tough spots are and plan your route.
• The "Point-Blank" Bonus: Get dangerously close to larger enemies and bosses before destroying them. The technique enables players to gain substantial points which they can use to advance their position in leaderboard rankings.
• Watch the Background: Some environmental elements, like erupting volcanoes or naval flak, can also fire projectiles. The player must maintain visual contact with every section of the battlefield.
• Choose Your Craft Wisely: The different planes exhibit minor differences which affect their speed and shot distribution and bomb efficiency. You should try different planes until you discover the one which best suits your dodging approach.
