Panzer Dragoon Mini

Getting started is straightforward: press Start on the title screen to begin. The game is a rail shooter with your character automatically moving forward while you control a targeting reticle with the D-Pad. Press the B button (S key) to shoot at incoming enemies and obstacles. The A button (X key) lets you jump to dodge ground-level threats.

Because this is a Japanese-only release, all menus and text are in Japanese. The main options are likely "Start Game" (the first choice) and possibly a sound test or options screen. If you see a screen with two or three selections, the top one is usually the easiest way to jump into the action. The core loop is simple: survive each stage by shooting down everything that moves before it hits you. Your health bar is at the top - watch it closely. There's no save feature, so you'll need to beat it in one sitting.
