Damn this game is hard! This is one for the masochists. Very unforgiving! (^_^)
And 14 years old too!!!!!
It has numerous features borrowed from R-Type like the PODs.
-1 You can collect numerous PODs. At least three of them and you can shoot the away with button C, they will automatically come boomeranging back instantly. Great for offensive action.
-2 The level designs.
-3 The music
-4 weapons

A very cool feature is the ability to change your speed whilst playing.
There are four speeds to choose from and you can toggle between them with the button B.
I play with speed 3, but occasionally change back to speed 2 for dodging a dense but slow moving bullet rain.

This game has got a lot of different weapons.
Whilst this game is very hard, the bosses aren't tough at all.
They require few shots and can be defeated the first time you encounter them.
