The game uses a top-down, vertically scrolling shooter format. You guide a fighter jet through enemy air and ground forces, avoiding bullets, terrain dangers, and stage obstacles while destroying targets to survive. Power-ups improve your weapon set, and each stage steadily escalates with denser formations and tougher bosses. Progress is stage-based, with a fixed sequence of six zones.

Strategy
Stay near the lower half of the screen to give yourself more time to react. Learn the placement of ground turrets and pick them off early before they flood the screen with fire. Try to preserve power-ups and avoid risky movement when fully upgraded. During boss fights, focus on safe patterns first and attack only in short openings.
