The game combines side-scrolling movement with shooting-focused action. Players move through San Francisco-themed stages, aiming and firing at enemies while advancing through each area. Missions typically revolve around clearing streets, chasing suspects, or breaking through dangerous zones. Positioning matters, since enemies can attack from multiple directions and close-range threats can quickly overwhelm you. Progress is stage-based, with each cleared section leading to the next mission segment.

Stay at mid-to-long range whenever possible to avoid getting swarmed. In crowded sections, clear enemies at the edges of the screen before pushing forward. Watch spawn points and pre-aim toward incoming threats to reduce surprise attacks. If the game includes limited resources, conserve them for difficult sections and refill safely before advancing.
