The game features two unique shooting modes accessible via side buttons, allowing players to switch between a wide-screen blast and a focused laser that also pushes back enemies. Additional options include launching bombs to clear the screen entirely and customising visual settings for optimal performance.
Players can choose from three distinct ships in the arcade mode, each with its own unique combat style based on bomb usage and cannon fire patterns. In contrast, the mobile version offers a single ship choice without the alternative styles. By skillfully dodging bullets and building up SM gauge points, players can unlock the Hyper button to unleash a wild firing frenzy or switch directions mid-battle.
