Players who followed the typical shoot 'em up play style, taking down every enemy, collecting everything in sight and so on, would find that by the time they reached the game's latter stages the game had become almost impossibly challenging. In Gradius, for example, every time you gobble up a power-up and Vic Viper increases in speed or power, every enemy in the game becomes a little stronger and quicker in kind. Take your favorite fandoms with you and never miss a beat. The fewer lives a player has when they die, the more rank is decreased, thus, the game rewards a player who doesn't stock up many lives at a time.
Bombs work differently from most shmups, in that you find small Bomb icons scattered around the stages, often dropped by ground-based enemies. I threw up a little bit in my mouth....Plasmo has opened Pandora's box and now indulges in an eternal supply of evil gaijin power.Destroying the core of the big green ship in stage 5 with a bomb and thus destroying ALL of the shrapnel. The infamous turret wall in Stage 6, known for being atrociously difficult if you didn't manage rank in the first five stages properly. Losing a life will decrease the difficulty (rank) of the game. Kinda put this game aside after failing to finish it during STGT, but maybe posting my score here will encourage me to make the final push.

The main source of inspiration for this game has been the game "Gun Frontier" (1990, Taito). (I need more work on Black Heart Mk2, once I get past that it should be game)JAPANESE DEFAULTS - that's Extends set to every 1mil, Normal difficulty. It's a game that encourages you to never be wasteful or inconsiderate.
