Gameplay
The player controls a detective, James, who infiltrates a secret base to rescue his partner Stacie from the evil organization Spectre, navigating levels while a trail of fire forces him to move forward. He is armed with a gun to defeat enemies as well as a jetpack, which allows him to jump higher than usual to reach and shoot high-up objects. The game ends after the player loses all his lives or shoots the antagonist in the face to free Stacie.[5]
