| The player controls a spaceship
referred to in the game as a 'Jet' and has to guide it across a
scrolling terrain, battling obstacles along the way. The ship is armed
with a forward-firing weapon, and bombs; each weapon has its own
button. The player must avoid colliding with the terrain and other
enemies, while simultaneously maintain its limited fuel supply, which
diminishes over time. More fuel can be acquired by destroying fuel
tanks in the game.
The game is divided into six sections, each with a different style
of terrain and different obstacles. There is no intermission between
each section; the game simply scrolls into the new terrain. Points are
awarded based upon the number of seconds of being alive, and on
destroying enemies and fuel tanks. In the final section, the player
must destroy a "base". Once this has been accomplished, a flag denoting
a completed mission is posted at the bottom right of the screen. The
game then continues by returning you to the first section once more,
with a slight increase in difficulty. |
