It consists of 7 stages × 3 zones, and clearing all stages of one round moves you to the next round.
•
The second round's stages appear with enhanced difficulty compared to the first.
•
After the final stage of the second round, you move to the third, and clearing the final stage of the first round in the third sequence results in a game over.

Game Over
