The player(s) control a space ship in a space field with only the sun, their opponent's ship, and an occasional asteroid to contend with. The opponent's ship is equally matched to the player's, as it is their mission to destroy the opponent's ship as many times as possible. Both players have similar maneuverability, speed, defense and attack capabilities. Players may fire lasers, thrust or enter hyperspace; however, defense usage is limited and can be depleted. Both ships can be disabled and still cause damage before they are completely destroyed, although thrusting directly into the sun will completely destroy either ship.
