(1) Mission
The player attempts to align the lock-on circle in the center of the display with enemy craft that
appear before them. When the lock-on gauge is red around its entire circumference indicating the
lock-on state, the player can fire a missile to shoot down the enemy craft.
When an enemy missile is fired at the player, the player attempts to shoot it down using missiles or
the machine gun. If the player fails to shoot down the enemy missile, the player’s aircraft receives
damage. When the endurance gauge at the bottom of the display reaches empty, the mission fails.
(2) Boss dogfight
Toward the end of each mission, a dogfight with the enemy boss occurs with a time limit. If the enemy
boss cannot be defeated within the time limit, the time runs out and the mission fails.
