The player views the battlefield from above and scrolls continuously upward through seven stages. The objective is to destroy enemies, collect weapon power-ups, survive hazards, and defeat a boss at the end of each stage.

Different weapons change the ship's attack pattern, while support units can increase firepower. In addition to the main game, two- and five-minute Caravan modes focus on scoring as many points as possible within a fixed time limit.

Choose weapon power-ups according to the immediate formation rather than collecting every item automatically. Wide attacks are useful against scattered enemies, while concentrated fire is better for bosses and durable targets.

In Caravan mode, learn enemy-entry timing and prioritize large point targets without taking unnecessary risks. Preserve positioning space near the center, but move early when enemies or projectiles close off an escape route.
