Your objective is to survive through multiple stages of intense aerial combat, destroying enemy ships, tanks, and installations while avoiding their fire. You control a fighter craft that can move in all directions.
You have a standard shot and can collect power-up icons to upgrade your main weapon, increase your speed, and acquire options (subsidiary drones) that mirror your shots. Bombs provide a screen-clearing attack for emergencies.
The core gameplay loop involves dodging dense patterns of enemy bullets while strategically positioning yourself to eliminate threats. A key beginner strategy is to focus on collecting the 'P' power-ups to maximize your firepower early, as a fully powered ship is essential for dealing with the challenging mid-bosses and stage-end bosses.
During tense moments, especially boss fights, prioritize movement and dodging over dealing damage; survival is more important than a quick kill. The challenge rhythm is fast-paced, with each stage increasing in difficulty and introducing new enemy attack patterns to master.
