The player controls the spaceship Raiga, which has the ability to rotate to attack enemies from behind. Power-ups can be obtained by destroying container ships, which grants both new weapons (such as shotgun bullets and bomb attacks) and upgrades to the spaceship's offenses and durability. The spacecraft can also obtain an Option weapon called the Auto Guard; three types of Auto Guards were available such as the target locking Beam Rifle, the powerful Solid Shooter and the standard Blaster item.
