FAQ

What's the difference between the various pilots?

Each pilot flies a unique aircraft with different shot patterns, movement speeds, and special weapons - some have wide spread shots for coverage while others have focused lasers for heavy single-target damage.

How do I earn extra lives in the game?

You earn extra lives by reaching certain score thresholds during gameplay. Destroy enemies efficiently and maintain high combos without taking damage to accumulate points faster and receive 1UP rewards.

What happens when I collect the 'P' power-ups?

'P' power-ups upgrade your main weapon's firepower, increasing spread, rate of fire, or adding secondary attacks. At maximum power, additional 'P' items award bonus points instead.
