How to play

Take control of a high-tech soldier and fight through enemy-infested military bases. Move in eight directions using the joystick to navigate the battlefield, positioning yourself to fire at incoming infantry, armored vehicles, and automated defense turrets. Use the primary fire button to unleash continuous gun fire, and utilize the secondary button to launch high-damage heavy weapons, such as rockets or missiles, to quickly clear out clusters of hostiles and boss targets. In the early stages of a run, focus on learning enemy spawn patterns and maintaining a safe distance while shooting. As you progress, collect valuable weapon power-ups to upgrade your standard gun to flamethrowers, laser rifles, or wider-spread shotguns. When surrounded or caught in a tight spot, activate your special area-of-effect defensive weapon to clear the immediate area. Keep an eye on your life bar and collect health items hidden inside breakable crates to survive the intense boss fights.
