Game Play

Here's a Description of the End Bosses:
/
/1st Boss - A Red perforated line runs back and forth across the top of the screen and causes different kinds of flowers to come at your ship at high speed i.e. Roses, Tulips, etc. You have to shoot at it the either make it go away or stop it, while at the same time shooting down or avoiding its flowers.
/
/2nd Boss - A Giant Sunflower that appears at the top of the screen and then receives its pedals from the sides of the screen Then it starts to come down towards you spinning, sometimes fast, shooting its pedals at you Shoot the Sunflower and its pedals or be shot
/
/3rd Boss - A Space ship that has 3 arm cannons that shoots bullets at you that are hard to dodge When you shoot its arm cannons, they reappear for a certain amount of times on each arm, perhaps 5 or 6 times Once you shot down the arms the right amount of times, the ship dies.
/
/4th Boss - What appears to be a broken up planet is coming down towards you but stops and releases its enemies out at you. Shoot the red core to open up the planet interior to go inside.
/
/5th and Final Boss - You are inside the broken planet. Fight your way to the end of the stage to fight a very difficult Red Rose that wants you dead. When you kill it, out comes some objects that shoot at you indefinitely. You can kill them, but they keep reappearing. However, there are locks that you have to shoot at in order to unlock the Escape Stem. Once the Escape Stem comes down, you have a few seconds to enter and escape or it will close and you have to shoot the locks again. THE GAME LOOPS FOREVER.
