Weapons (Best to Worst):
(S)Spread Gun- Spreads powerful bullets in a large radius. Be thankful you have this weapon.
(L)Laser- Most powerful weapon, continues after hits an enemy, however it stops if fired continuously.
(M)Machine Gun- Hold A to save a fuck load of time and lose some thumb cramps.
(B)Force Field- Like a star in Mario, except there is no extra music. Stay focused to see when it stops.
(R)Rapid Fire- Speeds up your bullets, not useful unless many are collected, then its tha shit!
(F)Fireball- Slow, fired in groups of three, spirals. Worst weapon unless you gather lots of R.
