Gameplay

The player controls fighter planes which aim to defeat the Dark Empire. The player can shoot two types of ammunition to defeat enemies while navigating levels.[4] The player is equipped with a "time bomb", which allows players to rewind one second each time one is used, even if the player is defeated, which usually requires three bombs, but less bombs can be used if activated early. Friendly soldiers can be rescued and placed into a mobile healthcare facility for extra points.[5]
