The Moon is a boss that appears in Stage 3-1 "Gene Duplication."
Appearance[]
The Moon appears as two connect cannons in an upside-down Y shape. Upon after the warning message in-game, it spins around continuously in an elongated shape before adjusting to acceptable size, then it begins its attack. In the 3D levels (Stage 4 and 5), The Moon spins around powering up, but it is completely transparent until it stops and shows itself to the player.
Name[]
While it doesn't reflect the Moon in its design, it is likely meant as a parallel to The Sun, which appears after it.
Environment[]
The Moon moves inside a moving, blue grid on top of a void.
Attacks[]
- The Moon moves around at a quick speed, firing dual bullets that can be destroyed by the player.
- The Moon rotates rapidly, firing a flurry of destructible bullets.
- The Moon will come down on the player in attempt to break the players ship, then rises up and spins off screen repeatedly.
In later difficulty[]
Beyond normal mode, The Moon's attacks become far more difficult to deal with given its agile ability to fire bullets everywhere. On the second round after The Moon completes its first attack run, it would become extremely agile to the point where attacking it becomes very difficult. This also applies to when it stops to fires bullets, dodging them makes it harder since they're scattered all over.
