Color System:

Most opponents have a recognizable color style. Stay in same color firemode as your opponent to reduce risk and damage or change to the opposite colored firemode to maximze your risk and damage. If your ship gets hit by a enemy bullet, the effect depents on the color match.





If your ship has not the same color as the bullet, the affected part of your ship takes damage. Avoid bullets of the opposite color or change your firemode, this depends on your choosen playstyle. If your ship and the incomming bullet have the same color, you can absorb the bullet to increase your overload energy level. If you can fill the overload bar, your ship overloads, destroys all near bullets of all colors, and damages near opponents.

• If you fight rapid firing or laser equipped opponents, forgett everything else and absorb them with the correct color to overload every second. This will damage all near opponents and destroys all types of incomming bullets instantly.
  
• Collect incomming bullets of your ship color as quick as possible, to create space for further tactics in heavy situations.
  
• If you fight shielded opponents, use your Overload ability, Laser Drones or Super Beam to destroy them with active shield.
  
• Bonus Stage. If there are many missles incomming, aim near your ship to spread the fireburst. Aim near the boss to maximize damage.
  
• To play defensive, change firemodes directly after overloading. If you change firemodes you loose 100% of the absorbed energy.
  
• If you get the critical powerup, the opponents color resistance will be ignored.
  
• The difficulty level scales with the hardcore mode. Try out hardcore modes on heavy difficulty for the ultimate challenge in World 6+
  
• Try out different pilot and ship combinations. You can switch your pilot and ship before you start a challenging setup to have perfect match for each stage type.
  
• If one main part of your ship is damaged and there is no way to evade incomming fire, try to use a less damaged ship part for the bullet collision. Repair drops will repair all parts.
  
• PowerBeams destroy all types of bullets. Prepare a overloading combo if you only destroy the opposite color.
  
• Kill the last boss in world 8-3 to unlock the world 9 random stage generator.
