◆ story and how to play
------------------------
The war was coming to an end and the victory had already been won, but the futile battle still continues.
The last mission is launched to leave as many survivors as possible.
The pilot, Rei, and the mechanic, Ritsu, were on board their own machine (MMII),
The two also attempted to leave the frontline for survival.

  The last mission is to survive.

The player pilots his own aircraft and leaves the combat airspace while avoiding and destroying enemies, enemy bullets, and obstacles.
The aircraft shoots its own bullets and performs auto-maintenance.

Fighter Aircraft Status (FAS) in the upper right corner of the screen shows the aircraft's maintenance status.
FAS is fully repaired at 5.00, and points will continue to be added thereafter.
(On EASY difficulty, the maximum FAS is 6.00.)

The FAS decreases by 1.00 for each bullet hit, and the game is over when the FAS is 0.99 or less.
If the aircraft is not hit by a bullet, it will be repaired by 0.01.
Overhaul can also be used to stop attacks and speed up repairs by several times.

During the battle, 4 support parts may flow, and if they are collected, the attack will change.
How to read the following table : [RF][PW]Power / [SP]Bullet velocity / [MEMO]Remarks

       [RF][PW][SP][MEMO]
NORMAL   B  1x1  B  Initial state/state after being hit.
R.FIRE   A  1x2  A  Two shots at the same time at slightly different angles in rapid succession.
COMRADE  C  8x1  B  Comrades on both sides support the ship. Comrades prevent attacks.
HOMING   A  1x1  B  When it locks on to an enemy in front of it, it destroys it by high-speed tracking continuous fire.
3-WAY    B  2x3  C  Wide-range barrage firing in three forward diagonal directions.
