It is very similar to the Game Boy Advance games, Iridion 3D and Iridion II (the Mainframe boss makes a cameo as the final boss) a lot like Lunar Knights is to the Boktai series. A sequel is currently under development, titled Nanostray 2.

Gameplay

Basic gameplay consists of first defeating many small enemies (known as waves) and larger, stronger enemies. When all enemies in a wave are destroyed, a blue powerup that restores the power weapon bar is released. Enemies can also release coins when destroyed, worth some points. At the end of each level there is a boss that shows the theme of the level.

Blue power-ups and coins can be pulled toward the ship by holding the R button.

Characteristics

The game has three difficulty settings, normal, advanced and expert. Each progressive level diminishes the amount of lives, energy, continues and amount of smart bombs replenished after the player loses a life.

The Nintendo DS touch screen is used for boss scanning (ala Metroid Prime), radar and weapon management.

Weapons

There are 4 types of weapons which you have at all times and a limited one.

Pulse: A high speed straight firing weapon with a sub weapon that fires a strong continuous beam.; Side-shot: A side firing weapon that shoots out of the left and right sides of the ship with a sub weapon that fires a stronger and faster beam.; Seeker: A front weapon that targets the enemy but fires slower than the first weapon. It has a sub weapon that launches a ball of energy.; Lightning: A bolt of lightning that once locked on targets the enemy until a new target is found. The sub weapon shoots short range beams around the ship.; Smart bomb: Destroys all enemies and bullets on screen. The ship can only carry a maximum of three smart bombs.;

Modes

There are four game modes to play: Adventure, Arcade, Challenge, and Multiplayer.

Adventure mode: To unlock other features, the player must first play through adventure mode. Each level cleared in the Adventure mode is made available in the Arcade mode, and one or more challenges are added to the Challenge mode. The game allows the player to play the first three stages (Mitsurin Jungle, Mokuzu Depths and Sunahara Desert) in any order. After these three stages are cleared, the player can do the same with the following three stages (Hibashira Plains, Sekihi Belt and Sekai Outpost). Then the player must clear Chuuroh City to reach the final stage, Zenshoh Station.;
