How to Play Space Firebird (rev. 04-u)

- Fire repeatedly and allow extra hits for Eagles and the Emperor.
- Approach an Eagle bomb from directly below before shooting it.
- Use Warp to escape a dangerous approach or ram the flock.
Controls
Move the ship left or right. Fire shoots the laser; the separate Warp action sends the ship forward with a protective field. Aim directly underneath an Eagle bomb to avoid the dangerous fragments described in the arcade instructions.
Space Firebird (rev. 04-u) — About this game
Space Firebird (rev. 04-u) fills the sky with enemies that break from looping formations to attack the ship below. Gulls fall after one hit, Eagles need two and the Emperor takes four, so an apparently successful shot may only weaken a target. Eagles also drop bombs whose fragments become dangerous when struck from the wrong angle. A separate Warp action sends the ship forward behind a protective field, offering an escape from immediate danger and a chance to ram the attacking flock. Keep track of the tougher birds while moving across the bottom of the screen; simply firing into the densest part of the formation does not remove every threat at once.
