How to play
In 1943, you control a fighter plane from a top-down perspective, scrolling upward while shooting enemy aircraft, ships, and ground targets. Your primary objective is to survive each stage and defeat the large boss at the end. You can fire your main weapon continuously and use a limited supply of screen-clearing special attacks. Power-ups appear by destroying certain enemies, which upgrade your main weapon, increase your speed, or restore health. Your plane has a health meter, so avoiding enemy fire is crucial. Early on, focus on collecting power-ups to strengthen your weapon and learning enemy patterns. In the middle stages, manage your special attacks for tough enemy formations. During tense moments, especially boss fights, prioritize dodging over attacking to preserve health. A useful strategy is to memorize the locations of health-refilling power-ups, as they are essential for surviving longer runs.
