Loaded with power and determination, you slice through enemy formations. Every time the Star Ship sustains any damage, it will transform into a different ship. Be careful though, for your Star Ship will explode when its metamorphic capabilities run out. A the end of each world, you will face a sizeable enemy. Your best bet is to reserve your metamorphic abilities and to obtain proper weapons before these confrontations. Life Force Generator: Brings you full metamorphic power. Star Gate: You will earn an additional ship by going through this gate. PAGE 5 ------ IV. FIRING DEVICES DEVICE CARRIER GAMA DEVICE PHOTON DEVICE There are many helpful devices which you can use along the way. The most potent of them are the firing devices. To obtain these devices, you must search and connect with the device carrier. Firing devices give you a lot of added power and there are several ways to use them. As a detached firing station, it can break up enemy formations before they reach your ship. As an attached firing device it gives you concentrated firing power. If you learn how to attach the same device behind your ship, the device fires at enemy ships approaching from the rear. DEVICE CARRIER: Attach Star Ship to activate firing devices. GAMA DEVICE: Gives you an extra line of firing. PHOTON DEVICE: Gives you two extra lines of firing. PAGE 6 ------ V.
