The game uses a top-down vertical scrolling shooter format. You steer your ship left and right while firing continuously, destroying enemy waves, turrets, and large mechanical bosses. Power-ups enhance shot strength, firing speed, and support weapons, and some pickups change the attack pattern. Each stage advances through multiple enemy formations before ending in a boss fight. Survival and score both depend on precise movement, smart power-up management, and reading bullet patterns.

Strategy
Stay near the middle of the screen to preserve movement options and avoid being cornered. When power-ups appear, try to keep your upgrades consistent rather than switching randomly. In boss fights, learn attack loops first, then focus on destroying sub-weapons that generate extra bullets. If bombs or strong special weapons are available, save them for dense enemy waves or later boss phases.

Tips and tricks
- Memorize enemy spawn points so you can pre-position before formations enter the screen.
- When your firepower peaks, take safer routes only if the stage layout truly forces them; otherwise push for score targets.
