The player can increase the power of their primary weapon by collecting “P” items. The player's ship also has a charge feature, where if the fire button is not touched for a few seconds, the ship will charge up a powerful shot that can destroy many of the enemies on-screen. The player can also acquire secondary weapons by collecting a gem. The gem changes colors, and depending on which color it is when collected, the player will get a different weapon. Players can power up their secondary weapon by collecting another gem of the same color.
