Enemies

Fodders - simple enemies take less then 3 missiles, will circle around the stage until they spin and charge towards your last location.

Golden Fodder - normally protected inside 4 Fodders, or randomly appear on the map. Will take more missiles then other enemies, and mostly provide a distraction from other enemies. They will drop quarters of CD

Ironcopters - when appear they will stay in one point, slowly come to you and then zigzag around the stage.

Bluebladers - similar to ironcopters but have a arch and flow to their attacks. They will spin in one spot until they gained enough momentum to push at you.

Wyrms - most difficult enemy in the game. Larger enemy who charges at you, cannot dodge or jump to avoid it. So you use the charge shot to push them away only to come at you later. Little pieces of it's body will fall out to tell you it's slowly dying.

final boss

the Orb - it will send out Wryms, and then by the end summon Vario to come and distract you as close to being destroyed.

Vario - A persona of Savant, very distracting. Can summon a box that charges at you.
