The game uses a vertically scrolling viewpoint in which players pilot a fighter through multiple stages filled with swarms of enemies and elaborate bullet patterns. Combat centers on the main shot, powered attacks, and bombs, with scoring tied to enemy destruction, bee-related pickups, and maintaining efficient routes. Stage progression is linear, but mastery comes from learning enemy waves, safe lanes, and boss attack loops. Runs end with a performance summary based on survival and score.

No character information available

Stay close enough to enemies to collect pickups efficiently, but do not overcommit and trap yourself in bullet streams. Focus on learning spawn points and prioritizing small enemies that create pressure or block movement. In boss fights, watch for pattern cycles and save bombs for moments when the screen becomes crowded or your route collapses. Consistency matters more than risky scoring attempts early on.
