Controls:

  • Gamepad can be used.

Instructions:

You take control of Cyrano, a cyborg with electrical powers, who has to defeat as much enemy waves as possible and survive 2 minutes. Cyrano has 2 types of attacks: a basic attack using Z key (O button), and a SP attack using the X key (X button). It’s possible to rapid-fire any of these attacks by holding their respective buttons, but doing such won’t allow Cyrano to move.

Each enemy wave is composed of a group of enemies and boxes. New waves will spawn every time you defeat all the enemies (not boxes) on the screen.

Enemies and non-green boxes will drop Metals (score items) when defeated/destroyed. The type of metal dropped is affected by the item multiplayer gauge at the top-left of the screen. Defeating enemies and destroying boxes rapidly will rise the gauge, and it will deplete over time and if Cyrano get hit by an enemy attack.
