Gameplay

In the game, the player pilots a starship shaped like a mambo fish. There are only two weapon types available throughout the game, which can be powered up through standard pickups.

The "options" are able to shift so that they alternatively fire in three directions: forward, backward, and towards the top/bottom of the screen.
