- Collect an S icon when a speed increase is useful.

Controls
The two firing actions operate the primary shot and the equipped secondary shot separately. Red-capsule S icons raise movement speed; blue capsules change the secondary weapon.
The Next Space (Japan) — About this game
The Next Space (Japan) separates its ship’s primary and secondary fire into two actions. Red capsules release S icons that raise movement speed, while blue capsules provide the different secondary weapons. This makes approaching a capsule a weapon decision as well as a question of survival. Learn how the present secondary shot covers the space around the ordinary gun before exchanging it. When the speed rises, leave more room for a short correction near a projectile rather than carrying the previous movement timing into the next wave.
