Dan-Ku-Ga (Ver 0.0J 1994 12 13) (Prototype) [Prototype, Missing graphics are normal in this prototype]

First, it is critical to note that you do not need to adjust your emulator or display settings to fix missing graphics, broken animations, or untextured assets – these are inherent to the 0.0J 1994 prototype build and are entirely expected. For core controls, this arcade prototype uses a standard 6-button arcade layout: Button 1 fires your continuous long-range laser attack, best for clearing swarms of small flying enemy units in the first two levels. Button 2 triggers a heavy melee slash that deals 3x more damage to armored enemies and bosses, but only works at close range. Button 3 activates a short invincibility dodge roll, which is essential for avoiding untelegraphed boss attacks that have missing animation cues in this build. Button 4 cycles between your three unlockable sub-weapons: homing missiles, spread shot, and explosive grenades. For early level progression, prioritize collecting the blue power-up orbs dropped by elite enemies to boost your laser damage before facing the level 2 boss, which has no visible attack wind-up animations in this prototype. When fighting the level 3 boss, stay near the edges of the screen to avoid its unmarked area-of-effect attacks, and only move in to use your melee slash when it pauses movement for 1 to 2 seconds. Note that the build cuts off abruptly at the start of level 4, as this part of the game was never completed before development stopped.
