Each of the game’s five levels features a unique visual theme, style, musical track and boss battle. The game includes various modes including Easy, Main and Score Attack but also keep an eye out for unlockables. Players can play through the five levels in regular or Score Attack mode or try their hand at Beyond mode which features Direct Assault, Lost mode, free play Trance mission or if you are feeling brave you can attempt Boss Rush, where you face up against all the bosses in a row.
