Primary Weapons | Your main arsenal consists of lazers and machine guns. You may switch between the two at any time. In addition, the blue power bar on the upper left hand corner of the screen indicates your fire strength. By holding down your primary fire key, you can increase the power of the primary blast upon release if you are shooting lazers only. |
Secondary Weapons | Your secondary weapons may consist of two of the following: Rockets, railguns, or winding lazers. These are chosen in the player select screen (Note: The question marks represent unobtained weapons which are not available in this version of Zeos Fighters). You have limited secondary ammunition which is displayed at game time as a red status bar. |
Bombs | In top-down mode only, you may drop bombs. The location of where the bomb will detonate is determined in the game by a green crosshair (Note: the crosshair in third-person mode indicates only where you are shooting). |
Level Weapons | Special weapons crates will reveal a power-up that gives your ship an additional weapon for the duration of your ship's life. You may have more than one at the same time. |
Enhanced weapons | If you get more than 3 power-ups, you will acquire enhanced weapons. Your secondary weapons will dramatically increase in strength for a limited time. |
