Gameplay
The player controls a plane which travels through battlefields and destroys enemies on land or in the air, in order to destroy a larger and more advanced plane.[3] Its ammunition can be upgraded by power-ups, which increase the amount of bullets shot; a bomb attack is also available. The game ends after defeating the boss enemy at the end of the level, or having the plane be destroyed by enemy bullets.[4]
