The player controls an aircraft, called a "Jet" in the game. He must navigate it over a scrolling terrain, defeating enemies along the way. The aircraft is armed with forward-firing weapons and bombs; each of these weapons is controlled by its own button. The player must avoid hitting the ground and other enemies while trying to conserve a limited supply of fuel that decreases over time. Additional fuel can be acquired by destroying fuel tanks.
The game is divided into six levels, each with its own style of terrain and different obstacles. There is no break between levels: a new area simply scrolls into the playing field. Points are awarded based on the amount of time the player is alive, as well as when enemies and fuel tanks are destroyed. At the last level, the player must destroy the "base". After this happens, a flag appears in the lower right corner of the screen, indicating the completed task. The game continues from the first level with a slight increase in difficulty.
