How it plays
How does Xexex (ver EAA) play?
Pilot the ship through the horizontal stages, fire at enemy formations, collect power-ups, and use the Flint option to grab or attack targets. Detach and position Flint to cover a second lane, then reunite it with the ship before the stage becomes crowded.
Plan your run
What is the best way to play Xexex (ver EAA)?
Use Flint to attack a target that is outside the ship's direct line, keep the ship in a safe lane while the option is detached, and collect upgrades without losing control of the formation. Learn each revision's boss timing before spending the option as a shield.
