Gameplay

The game's 16 stages are split into two eight-stage zones. The stages within those zones can be selected and completed in any order. Some stages are supportive stages with standard bosses, but other stages inhabited by the game's primary bad guys. Each stage serves its own purpose: defeating the supportive stages will upgrade your ship and make it defensively stronger, while taking out each of the game's bad guys will give you their special weapon to use during future stages.

Reception

The PSP and iOS versions received "favorable" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. [2] [3]
