Gameplay
The player controls fighter jets which battle swarms of mechanical enemies across 16 stages.[4] Players can unlock numerous types of pods through power-ups, which fire ammunition that differ in attack range and power, as well as being able to shoot behind the player. Unique to the game, two players can combine their jets to form a more powerful fighter jet, which can be controlled by both players at a relatively slower movement speed.[5]
