shoots; there is rapidfire, but there will be a gap every few shots. There are two means of powering up. First, scattered throughout the levels are pods containing small vertical bars that flash red, green, and blue. Shooting at the pods will have them spit out the vertical bars, which will power up your main weapon. Second, some enemies produce larger, colored powerup balls called "P-chips." P-chips cause the mech to change color and adapt a subweapon which is fired with
. P-chip abilities can be upgraded with further P-chips of the same color; taking a different color P-chip will replace whatever P-chip power the player already has. If the player gets hit, he will first lose his subweapon, then one life.
With enough of either chip, you get subships whose firing direction can be controlled with the button (see the HUD to see the current firing direction).
