2.0 QUICK HINTS

------------------------------------------
-Utilizing combos are essential for success; each successive combo completed increases chances of receiving power ups, life, or smart bombs

-The Smart bomb can be used as both an offensive and defensive weapon.  Within its blast radius, it will clear bullets and destroy weak enemies, as well as severely damage bigger enemies

-Enemy ships arrive in patterns; learning what weapons are most effective at defeating each pattern will greatly increase your chances of surviving the level.    

-Identify and destroy secondary weapon carriers (the round orange ships that shoot 3 bullets) as soon as possible.  The secondary weapon dropped by this ship will be best suited for the immediate upcoming enemy ship pattern

- The secondary weapon will absorb enemy fire, but it will lose half of its ammo each time it gets hit.  Therefore keeping a nearly depleted secondary weapon up while fighting will act as a temporary shield.  

-After beating a level, player will have access to a level jumping option, allowing you to visit previous levels

-The default difficulty setting is High, it can be adjusted to Low before beginning a new game.  Even at low difficulty Steel Saviour will present a formidable challenge.
