Axelay/Stage 2

Space station
When you approach the space station, the automatic doors will begin to open. However, fly through them quickly, because they will close shortly after.

The first room of the station has ceiling and floor turrets, which are destroyed with either the round vulcan or explosion bomb.

Boss
On approach to the boss, you will see a set of objects holding up the upper wall. while the left can be destroyed without issue, it will begin to fall once you destroy the right-hand set.

The enemy will be a large walker with a found mounted minigun. It will not become vulnerable to attack until the screen locks position. It can only be damaged when you hit the core, which is behind armor plating. As such, you will have to fire around it (e.g. at an angle, or using the Round vulcan from behind), or try using the explosion bomb when it is moving forward.


 * It fires its minigun. When the screen stops scrolling, it will also try to aim upward, allowing you to hit the core more easily.
 * It fires an arc of bullets from it's back joint.
 * It moves forward. While moving forward, it will be vulnerable to the Explosion Bomb, or can be attacked from behind with the Round Vulcan.
 * When low on health or when its minigun is destroyed, it will fire a beam, and try to aim it upward or downward. Note that if it tries pushing you down, you need to avoid both the beam and the mech itself.
