As in most games pick up gold coins whenever possible. You'll need this virtual currency to buy weapons and items in the Shop. A bomb will not only kill aliens, but also blow up other bombs in the area. You can activate a preview of each weapon before making a purchase. And these new weapons you can purchase.
