This is a fixed-shooter game where the player moves left and right along the bottom of the screen and fires upward. Enemy invaders advance in formation and speed up as their numbers decrease. Protective bunkers can absorb fire from both sides but will gradually break apart. Clearing a wave advances to the next, with difficulty increasing through faster enemy movement and tighter pressure.
