How to Play

  1. Move with D-pad, A = jump, B = shoot
  2. Aim in 8 directions while standing or jumping
  3. Collect weapon power-ups (S, M, L, F, R)
  4. S = spread shot (best weapon), M = machine gun
  5. One hit = death (unless with barrier)
  6. Shoot or avoid all hazards - walls, bullets, enemies
  7. Run-and-gun sections alternate with base infiltration
  8. Boss weak points - memorize patterns
  9. Konami Code: up up down down left right left right B A = 30 lives
  10. Co-op: work together, don't steal power-ups
