Along the way, the player collects improvements that increase the armor and weapons Semus and give her special abilities, such as the Space Jump that allows it to jump an unlimited number of times to cover great distances. These abilities allow Semus access to areas that were previously inaccessible.
The game introduces several new concepts. Among them are the ability to enable and disable weapons and abilities in inventory and moonwalk, named after the eponymous popular dance movement that allows Semus backing shooting or charging her arms. The game also gives the opportunity to combine weapons Semus rays.
