The screen scrolls vertically while the selected aircraft moves freely within the play area. The objective is to destroy enemy formations, avoid bullets and collisions, collect power-ups, and defeat a large boss at the end of each stage.

A standard run proceeds through a changing stage order before a final confrontation. Shot power increases through collected items, while bombs provide emergency defense and damage. Enemy patterns become denser and faster, so memorizing threats, positioning carefully, and preserving resources are central to progression.

Stay near the lower half of the screen, where incoming threats are easier to read, but keep moving rather than hugging one position.

• Collect power-ups consistently, but do not cross dangerous bullet paths for a single item.
• Save at least one bomb for emergencies; using it before a mistake is safer than losing a life.
• Learn boss entrances and aimed attacks, then move early instead of reacting at the last moment.
• Choose an aircraft whose shot coverage and special attack suit your preferred distance from enemies.
