The game uses a fixed vertical perspective. Each stage scrolls automatically, placing the fighter against waves of ground and airborne enemies, hazards, mid-stage threats, and a large end-of-stage boss.

The player steers the ship, fires its primary weapon, and changes weapon types by collecting numbered power-ups. Different weapons alter shot spread, direction, or behavior, while option-like satellites increase firepower and may absorb or add attacks. Progress is organized into a sequence of stages, with lives and continues supporting repeated attempts.

Stay near the lower-middle area of the screen so that incoming threats remain visible while leaving room to dodge. Collect weapon items deliberately; a stronger weapon is not always safer if its firing pattern is difficult to control.

Learn the movement and firing patterns of bosses, and prioritize enemies that create bullets or restrict the available route. Preserve satellites when possible, since their extra firepower can shorten dangerous encounters.
