The game uses a vertical scrolling perspective and lets players choose from several distinct characters, each with different speed, shot coverage, and attack feel. Stages progress linearly through enemy waves, ground targets, aerial formations, and boss encounters. Core play revolves around constant firing, reading bullet patterns, and using special attacks at the right time to clear danger. Learning spawn positions and boss patterns is essential, especially after a death when recovering position and firepower matters a lot.

Aine

A nimble ninja-like fighter with quick attacks, suited to mobile dodging and steady pressure.

Tengai

A monk-like warrior on a flying mount, offering dependable firepower and solid control against medium enemies.

Koyori

A shrine maiden-style character with useful shot coverage, making her approachable for beginners.

Junis

A character with a more unusual attack style, better suited to players who know the routes well.

Memorizing enemy entry points is more valuable than reacting late. Test each character's movement and shot range early to find one that matches your comfort level. Against bosses, try staying near safer side lanes and make small controlled movements after identifying the main pattern. Do not hoard bombs too long; use them when boxed in, during tight patterns, or when a boss changes phases. After respawning, focus first on the nearest high-threat enemies so you do not get trapped immediately again.
