Gameplay
Whip Rush's gameplay style was very similar to R-Type: The title ship flew through 7 dangerous stages and was forced to fight large bosses using timed attacks. The ship's Options were similar to the ones in Curse or Psychosis: The ship could be equipped with two Options at a time and the player could rotate them around the ship changing their directional fire at the same time. The player had a total of three weapons to choose from and could change the ship's speed through eight different speed levels. Extends were awarded and there were no checkpoints, but if a player lost all their lives and continued, they would have to restart the level over again.
