At home, one might have trouble rotating a 300 lb WEGA on its side to play a vertical shooter in the aspect that it was designed for. Failing manual tv rotation, one would have to be content with a squat screen bound by black borders on the sides. On the PSP, there are no such restrictions although the shots are a bit clumsy to fire off. Upon starting the game, select one of three ships:

A.Caesar - An orange and grey cruiser which blasts a 5-way shot. It's secondary weapon is a forward thrusting spear.
Enigma - A blue and metal color bruiser which fires forward shots and billows out flames from the side.
Rijndael - A back-loaded ship which has a weak forward shot but might backwards shots. Its secondary weapon is a forward laser blast.

Since the Enigma has the most powerful forward-shooting weaponry out of all three fighters, players can use it to earn an 80,000 bonus by destroying the mid-level boss in the first level within 3 seconds of it constructing itself from parts. The end level boss in the first level can be destroyed in 20 seconds flat with a fully powered-up Enigma.

Shoot, dodge, bob, and weave through armies of enemy flyers and their bullets. Once the minor foes are dispatched, deal with end level bosses who put up more of a fire fight. The first mid-level boss is a disembodied blue head which shoots white spheres from its eyes and the end-level boss is a blue and gold UFO which mixes scatter shot with laser streams. It's not much of a threat but the crossfire may confuse beginners.
