Where that puffy-cheeked red guy used to be now stands a warp leading to another section of level one. This adds lots more depth to this game.

Be sure to browse the shops, as FZ2 offers some new items and weapons.

A log jammers nightmare!? Dodge the redwoods while aiming for the eye in the center.

It’s now much easier to tell what is foreground and what is background. Try to memorize where the boss warp is, which will be a red warp, and only functions when all the generators are taken out.

As you shoot each section of this boss, the head gets closer and closer to the ground. Dodge accordingly.

Sorry, this is off track a bit, but I saw pictures of Slipheed 2 yesterday, and boy, I can’t wait for that one...

Shooting thin air will sometimes reveal a hidden shop, usually at the top or bottom of the screen. Notice how infinitely cooler these items are, some which increase your life bar!

Giant ice cube? Window pane? Someone’s portrait of an eye? YOU decide...

All shooters must now have a snake, a battleship level, and a fire level. NO EXCEPTIONS!

Snake/dragon, no difference.
