The game uses a top-down stage-based format where players move through city streets, buildings, and gang hideouts while shooting waves of enemies. Movement, aiming, and avoiding crossfire are the main skills. Each area acts like a combat zone to clear before progressing, and later sections introduce tougher enemies and boss encounters. Progress depends on survival, pattern recognition, and careful positioning under pressure.

Strategy
Take out enemies approaching from the sides first so you do not get trapped in crossfire. Advance slowly and watch spawn points before stepping into open spaces. Use edge positioning to limit how many enemies can shoot at once. During boss fights, keep moving in short horizontal steps and focus on the most dangerous attacker instead of chasing every target.
