Gameplay
The player controls a fighter jet which is instructed to destroy research stations in Antarctica. The jet is equipped with ammunition and missiles, which can be combined to defeat enemy objects.[3] Unlike other scrolling shooters, the angle while shooting can be changed by tilting, increasing the complexity of the gameplay while making it easier to shoot enemies moving in erratic ways.[4]
