Each stage is punctuated with a cutscene of the princess crying for help as she's tortured and begins to lose clothing - not unlike Artemis from Namco's Phelios - or the lip-stick wearing, bad guy taunting you. The story involves you piloting a ship called the Flintlock, to save the blue haired princess named Irene of the planet E-Square, from a rather effeminate looking evil lord named Klaus.
The name of the current weapon is displayed at the bottom of the screen (not in the overseas version, of course) Ground Laser: your main gun is changed to an upgraded Proton Laser while a laser beam travels across the floor (similar to the R-Type weapon).Search Laser: a laser with strong homing that travels in square trajectories.Spiral Laser: a spiral laser (similar to the Gradius Ripple Laser), second strongest weapon.
In the overseas versions, you start with the Proton Laser, a thin stream of weak bullets. The enemy patterns are also changed slightly. The overseas versions introduce a variety of changes, such as forcing a single but upgradeable main weapon (icon and sprite for the Round Laser but is a spread shot), homing missile powerups as a side weapon (similar to R-Type), the removal of the 'blue' charge strength ('yellow' strength with 'blue' charge length), a single life bar instead of a life count (and the secret item pickups located throughout levels are all life bar restoring items, with the extend icon), among other things. You can collect powerups to increase the Flint's power (two upgrades), allow your ship to move faster, change the main weapon (six different powerups), or increase life count by one (the game's logo). Your ship (the Flintlock) has a detachable orb attachment (the Flint) to protect the Flintlock's front (attached), to release it close by-it grows tentacles-and destroy enemies it touches (detached), or to charge power (up to two levels 'blue' is half-, 'yellow' is full-screen) and release as either electrified half/full-screen-stretching tentacles or a quick-moving Flint that flies forward half/full-screen doing damage along the way.
