The game presents the player with two views of the playing area — one from above and one from the side. Using these views, the player selects among six thrusters to fire, controlled by keys on the keyboard: T and B to move up and down, < to move left and the > key to move right, and H and F to move forward or backward.

At the bottom of the screen is a display showing the amount of time the player has taken and the amount of fuel remaining, as well as the current score and the high score.
