How to Play Phalanx
Quick start
Select "GAME START" and first challenge all 8 stages of planet Delia with EASY. At first, keep TYPE A, use SELECT to select the speed that is most convenient for you, and collect the weapon icon before it goes off-screen. It is effective to switch stock weapons with R and leave the L bombs, which are limited in number, for dense areas and bosses.
Controls
Move A-144 with the cross button. Press A to fire normally, and charge-enabled weapons fire by pressing and releasing A. Switch between stocked power-up weapons with R, special bomb with L, change speed in 3 stages with SELECT, and pause with START. In OPTIONS, you can change the button layout, difficulty level, remaining lives, and speed of TYPE A.
