Descpription: Twinkle Star Sprites is a competitive scrolling shooter created
by ADK in 1996. It was initially released as an arcade game for the Neo Geo platform.

There are two types of standard attacks: a normal shot and a charge-up shot. Each
character starts with two bombs which enables him in the event of desperate plight,
to clean with the screen while briefly acquiring a state of invincibility.

The two players' playfields are separated by a vertical bar, each one having its
own independent of the other. Series of enemies arrive from the top of the screen.

The player is to successfully destroy them in chains (combos), which will send
one or more fireball projectiles to the screen of his adversary (Normal Attack).

Shooting at Normal Attacks several times reflects them back as glowing Reverse Attacks.
If Reverse Attacks are reflected again, a number of powerful counterattacks in
the shape of one or more indestructible enemies appear (Extra Attack). Reflecting
many Reverse Attacks at once can instead summon a boss (Boss Attack).
