In this title, you are the pilot of a vehicle called the Ikaruga (斑鳩, named for the [[wp:Japanese Grosbeak|Japanese Grosbeak]]) that has the special ability to switch elements between white and black (light and dark). As one element, you're invincible from that same element while being able to deal double damage to an enemy of the opposite element. Thus by switching to the opposite element of an enemy you increase the difficulty of the game, the speed at which you can defeat your enemy and thus your overall score.
