The game uses a top-down vertical scrolling view where the player advances through stages, dodging bullets, destroying enemy aircraft and ground targets, and fighting large bosses at the end of each stage. Each character has a different plane and weapon set, and power-ups improve shot strength, spread, or special attacks. Getting hit usually costs power or a life, so stage progression depends on learning enemy patterns and item routes.
Mao Mao
A pilot from China with a nimble aircraft and flexible offensive options.
Kawasaki
A Japanese pilot with a balanced fighter, suitable for learning the basics.
F-14 Tomcat Pilot
An American character with strong firepower for direct pressure.
Piiiichan
A comedic recurring character known for funny appearances and endings.
Keep your power level high and avoid repeated mistakes that force you to rebuild your weapons. When bullet patterns get dense, back off first and re-approach after finding a safe lane. Most bosses have predictable attack cycles, so learn their rhythm before focusing on damage. If you can choose a pilot, start with a balanced or highly mobile plane.
Tips and tricks
Prioritize power-up collection after mid-sized enemies are destroyed.

Clearing ground targets early can reduce later bullet pressure.
