Overview and Gameplay
A high-speed vertical assault places the player in the cockpit of the Harrier V fighter jet, tasked with pushing through enemy air squadrons and fortified ground defenses. Missions unfold across scrolling stages filled with layered combat where air targets and surface installations must be handled simultaneously. Escort satellites accompany the jet, adding tactical fire support and changing how attacks are delivered as stages intensify.
The core loop focuses on survival through waves of enemies, collecting power-ups to strengthen firepower, and adapting to mixed threats that require constant movement between aerial and ground-based targeting priorities.
