The game uses a single-player vertical scrolling view. You control a biplane that advances automatically while firing at aircraft, ships, tanks, and turrets. Destroying marked enemies releases power-ups that improve shot strength, bombs, or score opportunities. Stages mix aerial swarms with ground defenses and end with large bosses. Progress is based on clearing stages, and extra lives and continues can extend a run.
