The other new ship, the Falchion β sports a short-range Rolling Missile that may not hit the ground, an Auto-Aiming powerup that covers a short 90 degree quadrant relative to the upper right of the ship, and a powerful gun called the Gravity Bullet that leaves behind minature black holes when it hit. On level two, the Spread Bomb breaks off into two equally explosive warheads, the twin Pulse Laser becomes a triple Pulse Laser, and the Round Laser's echo increases in range. One of the two new ships, the Jade Knight has access to what your unfunny uncle Steve would call a "well-rounded" weapon set including a highly explosive Spread Bomb, a twin Pulse Laser, and Round Laser that appears as an "echo" around the ship. When upgraded, the Ripple increases its firing speed, the Disruptor widens in range, and the Two-Way Missiles follow forward on the ground.
