How to Play Vapor Trail
Quick start
Choose one of three jets according to speed and firepower. Use automatic fire during ordinary waves, make small movements through bullet gaps and collect weapon-change and power-up items. The S UNIT can absorb danger, while the barrel roll is an emergency move that also cancels the unit, so save it for dense fire or bosses. A second player can join after connecting another pad.
Controls
D-pad: move in eight directions and select a jet or menu item. A: manual shot. B: continuous automatic fire. C: cancel the S UNIT and perform a barrel roll. Start: begin, confirm the jet, pause or continue.
