~ Game Modes ~
*Novice* / Easy
This mode is for beginners only. It's comparable to Original Mode, just easier to get into for novice shmup players. Just shoot up enemies and collect gold star items.
*Original* / Medium
This mode is focusing on blasting survival action. Yet it has a simple scoring system, which is mainly about collecting gold nuggets that enemies are dropping by shooting 'em up. The amount of nuggets you own, multiplies with the amount of enemies you destroy.
*Maniac* / Hard
This mode has it's focus on scoring, so naturally the scoring system is more complex. It's mainly about building chains by shooting up enemies within a short time window, and getting as much as multipliers as you can. By holding down the shoot button you get a blue laser beam, now you can focus on bigger enemies for a certain time and the blue laser turns into green, which means you get scores double as high as with a blue laser.
Additionally this mode got a risk and reward system, which means the closer you get to the enemies the more score you earn but you also higher the risk to get hit by an enemy bullet to the same time.
