Armor: Increases your armor level by one. More armor means you can survive more hits.

Shield: Increases your shield level by one. Shields protect you from lasers and explosions, but not from direct hits by missiles.

Regeneration: Damaged armor will slowly regenerate.

Recharge: Damaged shields will slowly recharge.

Jump: Press the "`" key, or the "j" key to enter "warp". Move the green target anywhere on screen and wait, or press "`" again to leave "warp". Also allows you to wrap around the screen just like the trilobts.

Cloak: Press the "c" key to cause your ship to become transparent. Lasers (but not missiles or Trilobots) will pass right through you. If you fire your weapons you will drop out of cloak.

Barrier: Press the "b" key to create a barrier in front of your ship that will block lasers and missiles. Press "b" while near the last barrier you created to increase its size. Lasers shrink barriers, while missiles blow them into bits and send the pieces flying in all directions.

Horizontal Speed: Increases your horizontal speed by one. Your default speed is 5, and you can increase it up to 8 with these powerups.

Vertical Speed: Increases your vertical speed by one, and allows you to move higher on the screen. At first, you will not be able to move vertically at all. You can increase your vertical speed up to 3

Cooldown: This powerup passively allows your other powers to happen more frequently. Whenever you regenerate armor or shields, or use a cloak, jump or barrier, your ship's "heat" reaches its maximum. You must wait for the ship to cool down before you can use another of these abilities. Firing a weapon and increasing a barrier's size creates a little bit of heat as well. Each cooldown powerup increases your cooldown rate by one, for a max rate of three.

Laser Power: Increases the power of your lasers allowing you to compensate for enemy armor and shields. Red is the weakest. Blue is the strongest. As you increase in power, your shots will become wider as well.

Missile Power: Increases the power of your missiles, allowing you to compensate for enemy armor. Red is the weakest. Blue is the strongest. As you increase in power, your shots will become wider and your explosions get bigger.

Frontal Laser: This is your default weapon.

Twin Frontal Lasers: Gives you two frontal lasers.

Wing Lasers: Adds a laser cannon to each of your wings.

Laser Turret: Adds a laser turret to the back of your ship. You can rotate the turret using the "q" and "e" keys.

Frontal Missile: Replaces your frontal laser with a missile. Missiles ignore shields, and they damage surrounding enemies when they explode. Missiles can be destroyed by missiles or lasers.

Wing Missiles: Adds a missile launcher to each of your wings.

Missile Turret: Adds a missile turret to the back of your ship. You can rotate the turret using the "q" and "e" keys.
