The action is viewed from above as the player's fighter moves through vertically scrolling stages. The objective is to destroy enemies, survive increasingly dense bullet patterns, defeat each stage boss, and achieve a high score.

Players select a craft with different shooting characteristics, then use regular fire and defensive bomb resources while fighting through fixed stage layouts. Enemy destruction, chain timing, hidden bees, and boss performance affect scoring and progression. The arcade format centers on a limited number of credits and repeated practice.

Learn the stage before trying to maximize the score. Memorize enemy entry points, prioritize threats that create dangerous bullets, and avoid breaking attack chains unnecessarily.

Save bombs for situations that cannot be handled safely through movement alone, especially dense boss patterns. Stay near the center when routes are unclear, then move early around aimed volleys rather than reacting at the last moment.
