- Nova ultimate: a giant purple energy bomb with a shockwave that clears every enemy shot and blasts everything on screen. Destroying aliens charges the next one, and every boss gives you another.
- Aegis shield: a golden hexagon shield that bounces red lasers straight back at the aliens for 6 seconds.
- Dodge roll: a fast sideways barrel roll that dodges anything for half a second.
- Lock-on missiles: from weapon level 2, orange reticles lock onto aliens and homing missiles fly to them.
- Warp: after each sector the ship jumps to hyperspace and the stars stretch into streaks.
- Combo: destroy aliens quickly to raise your score multiplier.
