III. GAME MECHANICS

You are the captain of a metamorphic Star Ship. Loaded with power and
determination, you slice through enemy formations. Every time the Star Ship
sustains any damage, it will transform into a different ship. Be careful
though, for your Star Ship will explode when its metamorphic capabilities
run out.

A the end of each world, you will face a sizeable enemy. Your best bet is to
reserve your metamorphic abilities and to obtain proper weapons before these
confrontations.

Life Force Generator: Brings you full metamorphic power.
Star Gate: You will earn an additional ship by going through this gate.

IV. FIRING DEVICES

DEVICE CARRIER GAMA DEVICE PHOTON DEVICE

There are many helpful devices which you can use along the way. The most
potent of them are the firing devices. To obtain these devices, you must
search and connect with the device carrier. Firing devices give you a lot of
added power and there are several ways to use them. As a detached firing
station, it can break up enemy formations before they reach your ship. As an
attached firing device it gives you concentrated firing power. If you learn
how to attach the same device behind your ship, the device fires at enemy
ships approaching from the rear.

DEVICE CARRIER: Attach Star Ship to activate firing devices.
GAMA DEVICE: Gives you an extra line of firing.
PHOTON DEVICE: Gives you two extra lines of firing.
