The game uses a side-scrolling arcade format where players choose from six ships with different speed, firepower, and weapon behavior. Power-ups strengthen the main shot and can alter weapon forms, letting players adapt to crowds, terrain hazards, and boss patterns. Stages are linear, with waves of enemies, environmental obstacles, and large set-piece bosses. Progress is based on clearing stages while staying alive, scoring points, and maintaining offensive momentum.

Strategy
Learn each ship's range, shot spread, and handling before committing to one. In boss fights, clear supporting turrets and small enemies first so the screen stays readable. Keep moving in small taps rather than large sweeps to slip through dense bullet curtains, and try to hold your powered-up state as long as possible.
