Contra style action game with six levels that combine the usual sidescrolling shooting sections, a few hoverbike sections, and a flying rail shooter segment. You have a basic weapon and melee attack and can find a powerful grenade launcher, a beam weapon that can shoot slowly or be charged up for a long constant burst, or a constantly firing shorter beam that follows your weapon movements. You can also find and have one active robot powerup that can make you faster, block two hits, or one that gives you more firepower by shooting in the direction you are aiming. You can unlock two extra characters when you beat them game that have a more melee focused playstyle, different modes and difficulties are also unlocked after beating it. Can be more forgiving by not only letting you continue after losing all of your lives on the same stage but at the section of the stage that you died on. The ability to select the stage you want to play will help you practice what you need to if you are trying for speed, no death, etc runs or if you just want to play your favorite stages again.
