The player controls a spaceship, which they must use to shoot at waves of alien enemies while avoiding their fire. Violence is unrealistic, as are reactions to it. Enemies flash when hit and then explode with some mild blood effects. When the player’s spaceship is hit, no damage or injury is shown to the player’s character but it is implied they are killed. Due to the sci-fi setting, some of the enemies may be scary to younger children, including several frightening alien bosses.
