Players have two kinds of attacks; shoot directly in the air with fire or bomb the ground with mysterious dragon bombs. The main character sprite is large; meaning that the player is easy to destroy. There are nine worlds in the game - ranging from the Paleozoic era
to a parallel universe
known only as the Evil Place where the final boss awaits the player in his lair.
