How to Play Phalanx
Quick start
Choose Game Start and begin on Easy while learning the eight-stage route over Delia. Keep the default Type A layout, use SELECT to find a comfortable one of three speeds and collect weapon icons before they scroll away. R cycles stored power-up weapons; save the limited L bombs for dense waves or bosses, and reduce speed in narrow cave sections.
Controls
D-pad manoeuvres the A-144. A fires the normal weapon; hold and release A when using a charge-capable weapon. R cycles stored power-up weapons, L launches a limited special bomb, SELECT changes among the three ship speeds and START pauses. Options can remap the Type A buttons and set difficulty, stock and speeds.
