Drones that aid you in battle also add flavor to each round. Some guard your back with a spray of bullets, while others circle your ship and shield you from danger. As you fight more battles these companions gain XP and become more powerful.
The scoring system has also been tweaked. Fallen foes now drop Geoms that increase your score multiplier and help you unlock new levels and more types of Drones. Geoms don't hang around on the screen for long, and you'll have to get close to enemies to grab them. This new element of risk and reward works well in Galaxies, and you'll find yourself trying to take down crowds of enemies at point blank range instead of from the other side of the screen.
