Game Introduction

This game is somewhat similar to the ground-based action in Side Arms - Hyper Dyne (the part where you do not fly most of the time). Scrolling is forced to the right so the game is like a shooter and platformer in one. Pick-up a multitude of power-ups to increase your firepower as you will need it. Hold down the fire button to lock your gun in either a left or right position -- the same power-up system as Vapor Trail - Hyper Offence Formation and Skull Fang. The choice of different paths after certain levels keeps the game from becoming stale.
