The game uses a side-scrolling action structure where players advance through stages, fight waves of enemies, and face boss battles. Each playable character has different attack ranges and special moves, encouraging players to adapt to the situation. Movement, jumping, basic attacks, and character skills form the core control scheme. Progress is stage-based, with tougher enemy formations and bosses appearing as the game advances.

Learn each character's range and attack rhythm before diving into enemy groups. Use ranged characters to handle flyers and projectile enemies, while melee characters are better for isolated targets and bosses. In boss fights, watch for telegraphed attacks and avoid overcommitting to combos. Save health and special abilities for the most dangerous phases.
