Blazing Lazers/Items

Primary Weapons
One of four primary weapons is always equipped and may be fired with.

Secondary Weapons
Secondary weapons add extra offensive and defensive capabilities to your ship. You may only have one in your possession at any given time, though some may be powered up by collecting the same icon more than once in a row.

Bombs
There is no unique item pickup for bombs in the game. In order to increase your bomb count you must pick up one of the four secondary weapon icons. Moreover, it must be the secondary weapon you are currently using.
