The game uses a vertical scrolling view with free-direction shooting, allowing players to move, aim, and fire independently. Enemies and hazards fill each stage, and defeated foes drop gold that can be spent in shops between stages on weapons, shields, and other enhancements. Progress is level-based, with boss fights punctuating each area, and survival depends on balancing movement, firing angle, and smart spending.
Save gold for upgrades with the best long-term value instead of buying every item you see. Keep moving to avoid dense fire patterns, and use the rotating shot to clear threats from awkward angles. In co-op, divide coverage so one player handles forward pressure while the other watches flanks and rear attacks.
Tips and tricks
Treat gold as a limited resource and plan shop purchases around the next few stages, not just the current one.
Tips and tricks
Mastering 360-degree fire is essential, especially for enemies approaching from the sides or behind.
