Cotton: Fantastic Night Dreams is a classic scrolling shooter released in 1991 for the Arcade by Success and Sega. Players control Cotton, a young, red-haired witch on a broomstick with an insatiable appetite for magical Willow candy, as she blasts her way through dark, fantastical stages alongside her fairy companion, Silk.
How to Play
Insert a coin (press 5) and hit Player 1 Start (press 1) to begin. Steer Cotton using the arrow keys, fire your primary magic shot with the main action button (typically Z or Ctrl), and drop screen-clearing bombs with the secondary button (X or Alt).
Tips
- Shoot the yellow crystals dropped by enemies to cycle their color. Collecting different colored crystals grants different elemental magic types, like fire or lightning.
- Hold down the fire button to charge up an attack and release it to send your fairy companion flying forward, dealing heavy damage to anything in her path.
