Added description of the multiple endings, and Galaxy Frontier tie-in with physical release.
Added DiffLines:
* MultipleEndings:
** The normal ending has the pilot crash the Stork and Rolling Gun into the BAC mobile fortress, but with the BAC Core falling into the ocean, humanity's fate is left uncertain...
** The True ending, obtained by facing and unlocking the BAC Core's true form, instead has the pilot launch the Rolling Gun into the BAC Core, where the Rolling Gun then exiles the BAC Core to Jupiter, definitively ending Operation Downfall.

* BulletHell: Even on Casual Mode, there's still a lot of bullets fired at you. Especially when you face the TrueFinalBoss. This gets taken UpToEleven on Expert Mode.

* ArrangeMode: ''Over Power'' allows you to independently aim your drone's shots with the right analog stick, and the drone now absorbs bullets a la ''VideoGame/RType''. Instead of bombs, you get a slowly-regenerating shield meter and getting hit will take off shield instead of destroying you, so long as you have at least one whole shield segment, and you gain capacity upgrades to your shield bar on stages 3 and 5. It is considerably easier than the base game, being more focused on scoring than survival. While this mode can be played without using the right analog stick, it is considerably less functional that way, as the rapid shot button is replaced with the Fighter/Gunner change button, but the shot button still behaves like it does in the base game, firing in Fighter Mode if tapped and in Gunner mode if held down.

''Rolling Gunner'' is a 2018 doujin ShootEmUp created by Mebius. It was later ported to the UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch the following year.
In the year 2034, the metallic element "Busterium" was discovered at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean by Lerman Matsunaga, a multinational corporation, and the world had greatly changed. As a result of Busterium, "Buster Engines" were created, along with the central supercomputer "Bustersystem All Controller", or BAC. However, in 2061, BAC suddenly becomes haywire and declares war on all mankind, using the Buster Engines to create various machines under its control. BAC had quickly taken over the planet, and half of the world's population was reduced. But a group within Lerman Matsunaga had learned about the dangers of BAC and Buster Engines, and created an anti-BAC weapon called the "Rolling Gun". Soon, the ship that had wielded the Rolling Gun, Anti-BAC Suppression Independent Control Armament "Rolling Gun" Deployment Warship RF-42R STORK, was rolled out. Humanity then begins "Operation Downfall", a final mission to destroy BAC once and for all. But things won't be easy, as BAC had already taken over Lerman Matsunaga as its fortress.
