The game uses a vertical scrolling view with the player controlling a helicopter through continuous stages. You fire at airborne enemies and ground targets while maneuvering to avoid bullets, terrain hazards, and concentrated fire. Missions mix forward progress with objective-based encounters, including base assaults and boss battles. It is a single-player arcade experience built around survival, score pressure, and stage progression via limited lives.
Airwolf
The advanced helicopter controlled by the player, built for speed and heavy combat.

The rival enemy helicopter that appears as a major adversary, often in boss-style encounters.
Focus on eliminating turrets and other fixed ground threats first, since they restrict movement the most. Keep a safe horizontal position that leaves room to dodge incoming fire, and do not chase every enemy at the cost of survival. In boss fights, learn attack patterns before committing to aggressive fire so you can preserve lives for later stages.
