Gameplay
The player controls a fighter plane who infiltrates military bases and defeats enemy vehicles and bases with air and ground weapons. Unconventional for a shoot 'em up, the ground weapon has infinite ammunition and works the same way as the air weapon instead of bombs with limited ammunition, allowing for more effective handling of grounded enemies. Power-ups can be obtained to improve the plane's firepower.[2][4]
