How to Play

Gameplay

The main objective of the game is to shoot the enemy and gain score while dodging the enemy's bullets. The goal is to survive to the end while collecting as much score as possible.

Healthbar

At the top of the screen, you can see the enemy's health bar, the enemy's number of lives, the time remaining for the attack, and the active spell card. If the enemy health bar is green, then it is using an normal attack. If it is red, then it is using a spell card, a special attack that is harder to dodge. Capturing a spell card will give you a boost in score.

Scoreboard

On the right side of the screen, you can see your current game score, the number of lives you have, and the number of bombs you have. You start each stage with 4 lives and 4 bombs in total. If you are hit by a bullet, you lose a life. You can instead press [X] to use a bomb to clear the screen of bullets and unleash a powerful attack to damage the boss. You can also press [Shift] to focus, which allows you to see your hitbox, move slower, and narrow your attacks.
