Players choose from multiple aircraft and battle through vertically scrolling stages viewed from above. Core controls center on movement, rapid-fire shooting, and a limited bomb attack used to clear bullets or survive dangerous moments. Stages mix airborne enemies, ground targets, power-up items, and set-piece boss encounters. Different planes have distinct shot spreads and bomb behavior, so route choice and character selection matter. In co-op, both players can combine firepower, but the screen becomes far more chaotic, making positioning and bomb management especially important.

Strategy
Stay centered when possible so you can react to enemy waves from either side. Save bombs for dense bullet patterns or emergency escapes rather than using them early. Learn each boss's opening and final phases, since many attacks have safe lanes once you know where to stand. In co-op, avoid overlapping movement too closely and coordinate bomb use so both players do not panic at the same time.
