In practice, you spent most of your time maneuvering and shooting. A radar on the side of the screen helped you track enemies that were off-screen, so you could anticipate their approach. You could collect power-ups that appeared, which would upgrade your weapons or provide temporary shields.

It was not an easy game; you had to manage your positioning carefully to avoid getting surrounded. The experience felt tense and focused, a test of your reflexes and situational awareness in a contained, scrolling arena.
