❤ Distinct Gameplay Modes

The game faithfully recreates the arcade version's widescreen Original and Original EX Modes. Original Mode has branching paths across Easy, Normal, and Hard difficulties, while Original EX ramps up the challenge with Expert, Extreme, and Exceed settings. The game also features a sprawling Chronicle Mode with over 3,000 stages that players can cooperatively unlock globally. Alongside the arcade content, the game offers an exclusive 200+ stage single-player Chronicle Saviours Mode designed for standard 16:9 displays.

❤ Diverse Ship Roster and Abilities

Players can choose from 9 unique ships, each offering different strengths and playstyles. Some wield powerful "Burst" weapons that clear large areas, while others focus on maneuverable base firepower. Special abilities include options (bits), lasers, bombs, and a unique counter-laser that can block enemy projectiles. This diverse roster encourages experimentation to find the ideal ship for each player's preferences.

❤ Depth in Scoring and Challenges

The scoring system rewards skilled play, providing multipliers for clearing entire enemy waves and massive bonuses for precisely timing "Counter Bursts" to intersect with enemy lasers. Mastering these mechanics and overcoming the game's challenging enemy and boss patterns creates a high skill ceiling for players to pursue.

❤ Cooperative Multiplayer

Up to 4 players can tackle the game's intense action cooperatively. Shared power-ups and coordinated "Burst" weapon combos encourage teamwork, while the ability to revive downed allies adds strategic depth to the hectic multiplayer experience.
