The game uses a top-down vertical-scrolling perspective. Players advance through stages while destroying air and ground targets, avoiding dense bullet patterns, and collecting armor parts dropped by certain enemies. These parts can alter primary weapons, sub-weapons, and defensive capabilities. Choosing the right loadout for each stage and boss encounter is central to survival, and the game rewards careful positioning as well as aggressive scoring play.

Prioritize armor and shield options that improve survivability instead of chasing raw damage alone. In heavy-bullet sections, move in short controlled bursts and keep an eye on enemy spawn patterns so you can clear threats before they fill the screen. Before picking up a new part, consider whether it fits the next stage or boss, since poor swaps can leave you underpowered. During boss fights, focus on removing dangerous secondary weapons first.
