I'll start by explaining the basics of STGs.
STGs, A.K.A Shooting games are done with controlling the
player character to dodge enemy attacks and shoot enemies down.
The fur balls at the top of the screen shooting bullets are the "enemy"
There are enemies in many shapes and colors.
The enemies shoot round white things right?
Those are the "bullets". Since they're shot by enemies they are thus "enemy bullets".
The bullets also come in many shapes and colors.
この敵弾や、敵そのものに自機が当たると、
ミスになって残機が減っちゃうの。
残機ってのは、上のLIFEの所に出てるんだ。
残機がなくなるとステージ失敗なんだよ。
When this enemy bullet or the the enemy hits you,
it's qualified as a miss and you'll lose a life.
Your remaining lives are displayed where it says LIFE wt the top.
When you run out of lives, you fail the stage.
Things called "Bomb"s have various effects in many games.
In some it can defeat enemies and in others they can erase all the bullets.
In this one, it'll clear the screen of bullets,
but it won't hit enemies so be careful.
敵は自分で倒せってことか。
So you need to clear up the enemy your self.
それと、最後にとっても大事なこと、「当た
り判定」のことを説明するね。
「当たり判定」というのは、弾や敵が触れる
とやられちゃう場所のことなんだよ。
Lastly and very importantly is the "hit box".
When your hit box is hit by enemies or enemy bullets,
you die.
