Stages are played from a side-scrolling perspective with constant forward movement, jumping, sliding, and shooting to handle swarms of enemies and hazards. The weapon system lets players mix multiple gun types for different firing patterns and close-range options. Levels feature forced-scrolling segments, vehicle sections, platforming, and large boss encounters, with replay value coming from higher difficulties and branching stage routes.

Characters
Red

Blue
The other main hero, focused on mobility and steady firepower for adapting to changing situations.
Strategy
Learn the strengths of each weapon combination and avoid greedily attacking during heavy bullet patterns. Use sliding and jumping to maintain safe spacing, especially in cramped arenas. Against bosses, watch attack loops first, then spend damage windows efficiently. In enemy-heavy stages, controlling spawn points and staying mobile is usually safer than chasing every target.

Tips and tricks
- In crowd-heavy sections, controlling enemy spawn points matters more than chasing single targets.
- Try different weapon pairings; melee-plus-ranged setups often handle boss phases better.
