Ajax

The game uses a primarily side-scrolling run-and-gun structure. Players move, aim, and fire simultaneously while dodging ground and air threats. Weapon pickups change the attack style, giving different strengths for crowd control, anti-air fire, or sustained damage. Stages feature forced scrolling, tricky terrain, and boss battles, so success depends on movement discipline, weapon management, and learning enemy patterns.

Player character

A futuristic soldier controlled by the player, armed with a transforming weapon system to repel the alien forces.

Learn how each weapon form behaves and keep the one best suited to the current stage. Do not overcommit to shooting when the screen becomes crowded; clear the most dangerous aerial threats first. Bosses usually follow fixed attack patterns, so wait for safe openings before moving in for damage.

Tips and tricks

• Stay near the center of the screen so you can react sooner to enemies spawning from either side.
• Choose a more versatile weapon form in narrow or hazard-heavy stages.
• In boss fights, read the bullet pattern first, then attack during the safest opening.
