There's one kind of ship that releases power-downs which decrease your fire power. It's up to you to decide what it's worth :) -- but this is the main course. They're colored crosses. The squares are sidecollect-ups. They will grant you special modes if you collect enough. All non-small enemies will give you a colored square if destroyed cleanly; otherwise you'll get a black one worth nothing. That's all! I know the game is not clear enough. Did you at least get to see the crosses and their effect on your shots?
