Gameplay

Each ship has a "Counter Gauge" that charges by being in close proximity to enemy bullets. You then use this charge to unleash powerful attacks.Destroying enemies with these special attacks gives you stars which are collected and used to build the "Break Gauge".Once the break gauge reaches MAX, you can activate "Break Mode" for a temporary yet intense firepower boost!

Test the limits of your destructive power with these highly deadly counter techniques!
