Bees score 50 in formation and 100 diving. Butterflies score 80 and 160. Bosses take three hits, turning from green to cyan to red, and score 150 in formation or 400 diving, rising to 800 or 1,600 if you shoot their escorts first. Divers fire down at you and swoop right over your head. Wipe out a whole squadron of eight before it reaches the formation for a big bonus.
A boss may hover and drop a tractor beam. Get caught and your fighter is carried up to the formation. Shoot that boss while it dives and your fighter floats back down and docks beside you, giving you two guns side by side. If one of the pair is hit, the other carries on.
Shoot the UFO that crosses the top of the sky and catch the loot pod it drops to widen your shot: double, triple, then a five-way fan, kept until you lose a life. Every sixth stage is a challenging stage where forty aliens fly showy patterns without shooting. Hit all forty for a 10,000 point perfect bonus.
