Gameplay

In the game you control the Gradius shield which becomes a force field when it attacks.

The goal is to destroy everything by Bursting (R/L + B) or by Ikalaser (Ikaruga-like laser).

Tips

Collision area is smaller when player is not in Burst Mode, try to abuse that feature.

You cannot damage those electric sparks.

Bursting can be used for defense.

Laser gauge is auto filling but fills faster when you hit an enemy in burst mode.
