| The game tries to punish you for the normal shooter technique of constantly hitting the fire button. You gain power-ups and special attacks from certain enemies as is common in the genre, but these can only be deployed once you //stop// firing and allow a small charge meter to build up, the next time you press the fire button the special attack launches - it could be a drone with an extra vulcan gun, a smart missile or a highly destructive bomb. But you need to balance your attacks //and// your specials with when you hit the fire button (you might let the meter charge in anticipation of the next sub-boss appearing, but then have to deal with a swarm of one-hit enemies as well... do you dodge those enemies so that you have your special shot ready for the boss, or do you waste it by taking out that swarm?). | The game tries to punish you for the normal shooter technique of constantly hitting the fire button.
