This behavior simulates the type A subweapon from ''GG Aleste 3'', by making the player's ship fire in the opposite direction of their movement (for diagonal and vertical, this will also shoot in additional directions based on the weapon), and reset to forward shot when directional movement is in neutral.

Fall to 8 or less lives and the game becomes genuinely easy again. The game ends after one loop instead of [[EndlessGame looping endlessly]] and defeating the final boss results in a bonus proportional to your remaining lives.
