But theres more:Each weapon can be received with any number of weapon mods. Instead of a Hypercannon you could get a Giant Hypercannon a Triple Hypercannon or even something along the lines of a Giant Triple Penetrating Explosive Hyper Hypercannon!With that taken into account the number of available weapons is over 2000!Every adversary in every wave is tweaked to make the wave present a unique challenge or serve some specific purpose.Some enemies will appear shielded some will shoot far more aggressively than usual some will move in an elaborate dance around the screen before buggering off back to wherever they came from.Which wave youll see next is random and so the game is replayable.What are you doing in this game? Youre destroying things. Literally thousands of enemy ships will attack you. Annihilate a bunch of them and pass through without perishing and you will be allowed to fight The Boss. Upon the timely demise of the boss at your hands youll progress to the next level.
