The game uses a top-down vertical scrolling perspective. In single-player play, you guide a fighter plane through stages filled with enemy aircraft, ground targets, and heavy bullet patterns. Normal fire provides steady offense, while holding the button charges a stronger special shot. The Loop move acts as a quick evasive maneuver, briefly shifting position and helping you slip through tight fire. Each stage usually ends with a boss fight, and progression continues by clearing all stages in order.

Learn enemy spawn patterns and keep enough open space on screen for emergency movement. Charge attacks are best used on dangerous targets, but do not sacrifice positioning just to build charge. Save Loop for dense bullet curtains or boss patterns. Try to keep weapon power intact, and after losing a life, clear nearby threats first before moving back into the fight.
