The premise, in the publisher's words
Thunder Force Inspired Shooter. Homages to retro shooting games. At the beginning of the game, you'll only be capable of shooting in front and behind your ship, but by acquiring weapons from the item carriers that appear during each stage, you'll gain access to lasers, homing shots and more. Defeating enemies in rapid succession increases the score multiplier gauge up to a maximum of x8, with larger and more durable enemies offering a speed-kill bonus equal to x4 of your current score multiplier (maximum x32). The ending can be reached by clearing all six stages, and you can watch a replay of your run from the main menu.
