The game uses a top-down road-pursuit format with continuous forward movement. The player steers left and right while firing the machine gun, dropping oil slicks to spin out pursuers, and deploying smoke screens to disrupt attacks. Different road sections, bridges, and occasional vehicle transformations change the pace and hazards. Progress is based on surviving long stretches and advancing through increasingly dangerous traffic rather than traditional stage objectives.

Stay centered on the road to react quickly to traffic and obstacles, and avoid overcorrecting near narrow bridges. Conserving your strongest tools for late-stage pressure makes runs more stable.
