As with previous shoot 'em up titles from CAVE, players can alternate between two shot modes; "Pilot" mode fires stronger attack as the gunner shoots without locking on a target, while "Gunner" mode turns the plane's shot weaker and its movement speed becomes slower but the co-pilot locks on and fire against enemies with increased firepower. Players are also equipped with a number of bombs capable of inflicting damage against enemies depending on the number of jewels collected, which increases its attack output. Through the stages, players can pick up items along the way by destroying enemy carriers such as "P" icons to increase the plane's attack power, "B" icons to increase the number of bomb stocks, a "MAX" icon that increases the plane's firepower to maximum level after losing a live and 1UPs. By collecting another bomb stock with three bombs in reserve, several gameplay events occur.
