How to Play Arrow Flash
Quick start
Select Start, leave the difficulty on Easy or Normal, and choose whether Arrow Flash uses Stock or Charge mode. Switch forms often: the compact fighter fits narrow passages and concentrates fire forward, while robot form attacks a wider area, can cover enemies behind you, and gains a brief invincible dash when Arrow Flash activates. Destroy carriers and prioritise speed, shield, laser, missile, and Fire Claw upgrades without colliding for a risky pickup. In Charge mode, hold the Arrow Flash button only when a safe lane is open because normal bullets stop during charging; in Stock mode, save the limited flashes for dense waves and bosses.
Controls
D-pad: move in all directions. A: transform between fighter and robot forms. B: normal shot. C: Arrow Flash; in Stock mode each press spends one stored use, while in Charge mode hold until the gauge fills and release automatically, with no normal fire during the charge. Start: begin, pause, or resume. Options can swap A/B/C assignments, enable rapid normal fire, set difficulty and ships, and choose Stock or Charge Arrow Flash.
