The Gluon parts fire attack patterns in spread-shots while its special fired missiles, the Photon fired concentrated shots while its special unleashed a short-range laser blade and the Graviton fired explosive bullets and its special laid land mines. The player can select which floor they want to go to per stage, starting with either the Stratum, the Inner or Outer wards then leading into the Mine area and eventually the station's Core. Every floor is timed, meaning the player has to destroy every enemy on-screen before the time runs out. Whenever the player's ship is damaged, they lose time.
