Pieces are stuck to your ship and counterattack to enemies.
You can earn the bonus score by keeping many pieces stuck.
Stuck pieces are destroyed when they touch a enemy's bullet.

While holding a slow key, the ship becomes slow and 
the ship direction is fixed.
Stuck pieces are pulled in and you can prevent a crash of them, 
but the bonus score reduces to one fifth.
