Players can choose to either lead the characters Bond or Dyne and their airplanes through several levels of "bullet hell"-style gameplay in an attempt to defeat the sisters.
The player's weapons arsenal consists of a main gun and bombs.
Bombs must be collected in fragments, and once the player has all of them, the Hadou Cannon can be used.
Staying behind the cannon will make the player invincible for the duration of the effect.
Additionally, enemies drop various "options," up to two of which can be attached to the wings of the plane to further increase fire power.
The game has a ranking system.
If the player does really well, they go up in rank and thus boss battles will be a lot harder.
Rank can be strategically decreased either by dying or by collecting roses, which are created from enemy bullets when the player sets off a bomb.
Scoring works by collecting gold medals dropped by destroyed enemies.
They must be quickly collected to keep up a scoring chain.
Once a new medal pops up, and the medals on screen already haven't been collected yet, the chain is broken.
About PlayStation
The original PlayStation (1994) brought CD-based gaming and 3D graphics to the mainstream, ending Nintendo's console dominance of the previous two generations. It's now firmly in "retro collecting" territory: original jewel cases with intact manuals command a real premium over disc-only copies, and several RPGs from its later years (when Sony deliberately courted the genre) are among the most expensive commonly-collected games from the era.

Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
