Flying Sahur

The player controls the Sahur using an eight-way joystick and two buttons. The joystick moves the character left, right, up, and down across the scrolling playfield. The first button fires a standard projectile forward in the direction the Sahur is facing. The second button activates a limited-use special attack that releases a spread of energy in multiple directions, clearing a portion of the screen of enemy projectiles and minor foes. The Sahur can also perform a short dash by double-tapping the joystick in a direction, which provides temporary invulnerability frames. The player character has a health bar represented by a series of segments at the top of the screen; contact with enemies or their projectiles depletes one segment. Power-ups appear from destroyed enemies or floating containers, including speed boosts, weapon upgrades that increase projectile size and damage, and shield items that grant one extra hit of protection. The game is divided into six stages, each ending with a boss encounter. Bosses are large, multi-segmented constructs that require repeated hits to specific weak points. The player has a limited number of continues, represented by credits inserted into the arcade machine. The objective is to reach the final stage, defeat the final boss, and rescue the companion, which triggers a short ending sequence. The game does not include a save feature or level select.
