The game is played from a side-scrolling perspective and focuses on running, jumping, and shooting through five stages. Jay can collect and switch between different weapons, each with distinct range, power, and firing behavior, which makes loadout choice important in different enemy setups. Levels mix platforming, heavy enemy waves, turrets, hazards, and boss encounters. Progress is linear, with each stage ending in a boss fight that usually requires pattern recognition and careful positioning.

Strategy
Learn which weapon works best against each enemy type and keep a reliable crowd-control option ready for packed sections. Stay mobile in turret-heavy areas and avoid standing still, especially when enemies spawn from fixed points. In boss fights, watch attack patterns first and commit to damage only during safe openings.
