Distance Overdrive
Your laser power is directly proportional to the distance between your mecha and the enemy. For this reason, it will be more effective and deal more damage while you are closer, but it will also expose you to the enemy fire.
The faster you kill enemies, the more laser gems they'll release, allowing you to keep your combo streak and reach for high scores.
Local Multiplayer
Complete the campaign alone, or join a friend to reach the high score with local multiplayer!
In 2-Players mode, both players will share the same score to promote cooperation, and will be able to use new strategies to defeat bosses
TATE Mode
The game fully supports TATE Mode on both orientation, on virtually any combination of screen ratio and resolution. To enable this, go to Options - Video in the main menu and switch the Layout option to TATE or REVERSE TATE.
