Expect a tidy arcade shooter in the caravan style: short runs, a score to beat and screens full of bullets. The D+ version trims slowdown so it feels smoother to play.
A few quality-of-life touches make it friendlier. Boss health bars show how the fight is going, a score differential tells you how close you're to your high score, and five scores are saved on the cart for good. A run you have given up on can be restarted from the menu.
