THE CORE LEVEL LOOP · HOW STAGES EVOLVE
- Stage 1: Basic entrances, boss catchers, and tractor beams.
- Stage 2: Enemies fire during entry.
- Stage 3: Challenge 1 — 40 peaceful targets in sweeping formations.
- Stage 4: Enemies transform into armored attackers.
- Stage 5: Increased movement speed and aggression.
- Stage 6: Coordinated three-enemy fleet dives.
- Stage 7: Challenge 2 — new spiral flight paths.
- Stage 8: Faster, accelerating bombs in three-shot spreads.
Then repeat: Three combat stages, one challenge. Challenges occur at 3, 7, 11, 15, 19… with three rotating flight patterns. Difficulty increases gradually with a playable speed limit.
Bonus: 100 points per target, plus 10,000 for all 40. Bonus enemies never fire, collide with your fighter, or use tractor beams.
Stage 256: A legacy milestone screen lets you continue with your score intact. This edition does not reproduce a hardware crash.
