The player was watching their friend play such a game and fell asleep, dreaming of the future of the shmup genre. The "real world" scene is the friend waking the player up after realizing they dozed off and not given a chance to play, so the player is handed the controller to enjoy whatever remains of the game.

After performing a complete run of the game (reach stage 3-0 and defeat the FinalBoss), the player suddenly finds themselves in a biplane they've never seen before, flying through "The Real World" and being welcomed back by a human crowd as they land on a runway. Which of course raises many questions about the nature of the "world" the 14 stages are set in, what exactly the "real world" is, and why you're being welcomed home.
* The player had a hypoxia event due to loss of cabin pressure, and the game's stages are [[AllJustADream all a fever dream]]. If the player kills the final boss, they come to their senses and descend the plane enough to regain oxygen. If not, they die for real.
* The events of the game are all a LotusEaterMachine implated by the enemy forces in the real world, trapping the player in a slumber they can only break by killing the final boss.

To back this theory up:
* Stage 1-1 opens with an explosion.
* The final stage is numbered ''0'' rather than 7, and associated with the number of the ''next'' loop. Thus, Stage 0 of the first loop is numbered ''2-0''.
* When you kill the FinalBoss, it explodes spectactularly. It is THE SAME EXPLOSION FORM STAGE 1.
* When the explosion goes off, Stage 2-1 begins.
