The game uses a top-down vertical scrolling perspective. Players move the aircraft, fire continuously, and collect energy orbs dropped by enemies to power up the main weapon. The transforming aircraft concept changes the feel of combat and helps define the game's pace. Stages mix swarms of small enemies, terrain hazards, and multi-phase boss fights, with progression tied to surviving each level while preserving firepower and extra lives.
Air Gallet is a vertical-scrolling shooter developed by Gazelle and published by Banpresto for arcades in 1996. Players pilot a transforming aircraft through fast-paced stages filled with enemy craft, ground targets, and large mechanical bosses. Its energy-orb upgrade system gives the game a distinctive risk-reward rhythm, and it is often remembered as a solid, hard-hitting late-era arcade shooter.

Keep collecting energy orbs to maintain weapon upgrades, since losing a life can slow your damage output considerably. Learn enemy spawn points and move early rather than reacting at the last second. During boss fights, focus on survival first and then look for safe damage windows. Small, controlled movements are usually safer than large evasive sweeps.
