The game uses a top-down vertical scrolling view with automatic forward movement. Players steer the ship left and right, with slight vertical adjustments depending on stage layout, and fire continuously at airborne and ground targets. Enemy bases and armored structures often hide vulnerable core points, so destruction requires reading the stage geometry as well as dodging bullets. Progress is stage-based and the goal is to survive through all areas while preserving lives and scoring well.

Strategy
Focus on enemy turrets and spawn points first, since they create the most pressure. Stay in the lower-middle part of the screen to leave room for evasive movement. When facing larger targets, keep firing while clearing surrounding threats so you do not get trapped. Memorizing enemy waves is especially valuable because the game punishes reactive play.
