Players take the control of a large spaceship with six gunstations. The ship is on auto-pilot, leaving the player free to blast the enemies without having to worry about flying the craft. Three different stages may not seem like much, but it's a spectacular ride anyway.
The object of the game is to fly through the different levels and shoot down the ships before they reduce the team to zero (all players share an energy meter).
