If you use the Shikigami Attack the coins will move towards you, also the enemies release more coins if you have a higher power up level. Unlike "Shikigami no Shiro", there's no power up system in "Shikigami no Shiro II".
• Tension system: it is activated when you move close to the enemies, bullets ans scenery. When the tension system is active an aura appears around the player. Also it activates a bonus multiplier - from 2x to 8x - that affects the points of the enemies destroyed and coins collected. When you get the 8x multiplier a rapid and more powerful fire is activated and the aura turns red.
