Hotot only has a limited amount of time before the warhead is assembled. If all the pieces are
successfully eliminated the warhead will self-destruct and Cytonia will be saved. However if Hotot fails to
destroy all the warhead pieces before the timer runs out, he be forced to destroy the warhead in a one on
one battle.
Warhead Showdown - If Hotot was unsuccessful in preventing the warhead's construction, he'll have
one last chance to destroy it before it detonates. Thankfully the warhead only has minimal shielding and
can be destroyed in one shot. Unfortunately the warhead comes armed with an advanced defensive matrix
that will attempt to hold off Hotot at all costs. If Hotot takes too long to destroy the warhead it will escape
into space and destroy the galaxy. Don't let this happen!
Each time Hotot successfully destroys the warhead or the warhead escapes he will go back to the
launch site, and the game play will continue at a more difficult level.
Launch Site - The Construction Robots, Yar Flies, and Gorfons move much faster, making them
harder to hit (or avoid). The Master Robot shoots more accurately, and his bullets will begin bouncing back
up once they reach the bottom of the screen. At the higher levels small bullets will begin to appear on the
left and right sides of the screen and chase Hotot down.
Warhead Assembly - The Master Robot shoots more bullets. The warhead pieces move faster.
Warhead Battle - The warhead moves faster and shoots more bullets.
