How to play

Your primary objective is to complete a series of combat missions, which involve destroying enemy aircraft, ground targets, and occasionally large bosses like superweapons or fortified battleships. Moment-to-moment gameplay involves piloting your chosen fighter jet using the directional pad or analog stick to maneuver, with buttons for accelerating, braking, firing your machine gun, and launching missiles. A radar on the HUD displays enemy positions relative to your aircraft. A useful beginner strategy is to master the lock-on system for missiles; wait for the target reticle to turn red and beep before firing for a guaranteed hit. The challenge rhythm is mission-based, with each stage presenting new enemy formations and environmental hazards. In the early game, focus on learning basic flight controls and managing your ammunition. During the middle of a mission, prioritize high-value targets and use evasive maneuvers like rolls and sharp turns to break enemy missile locks. In tense moments, especially during boss fights, maintain situational awareness by frequently checking your radar and managing your speed to avoid crashing into the ground or obstacles.
