The game is played with a 4-way joystick and 3 buttons, one for shoot, one to switch the locked-on enemy and one for jump.

The player must take control of a Transformer-like battlemech, known as "Sygnus", who is equipped with a laser cannon, Vernier (misspelled by the game as "Verneir") jump-jets, auto-targeting, and an automatic cooling system, much like in Namco's own Mirai Ninja (which also runs upon their System 2 hardware), pushing that joystick twice in the same direction will make Sygnus switch from a march to a dash while he is moving and you cannot make him change the direction that he is facing in mid-air.

However, unlike the aforementioned Mirai Ninja, he has no "life meter", just a temperature meter which increases when he is hit, and decreases when he is not hit - but if the timer should run out, his cooling device will break.

If he should overheat, which usually happens when there are too many enemies firing at him at once, your game will immediately be over as six texts about impossible continuation appear on the screen, and he explodes.
But you can continue beside the final boss, if you die there you get the bad ending and you have to start over.

The game is made of four stages and which must be finished twice.
