Star Soldier — About this game
Pilot Caesar against aerial formations and ground defenses in the Japanese Famicom version of Star Soldier. P-mark targets release power capsules when shot; collecting them improves movement and firing, then adds rear shots and eventually five-direction fire with a barrier. Protection does not make collisions safe. At the end of a stage, defeat Starbrain before time runs out: letting it escape sends you back to repeat part of the area. Building up the ship while keeping a clear escape route is central to surviving.
