Gameplay
Choose a two-minute or five-minute run, steer the fighter around the playfield, and fire into approaching waves. The clock sets the length of the attempt, giving each enemy formation an immediate scoring value. Weapon pickups alter your firepower, so keeping a useful attack pattern helps clear groups efficiently. Your movement must account for enemy shots while still placing targets within reach. The timed course draws on Gunhed’s shooting systems, but the objective here is to make the most of the available minutes. Repeated attempts let you compare results over the same fixed duration and learn where each wave enters. A higher score comes from handling the route more effectively rather than simply spending longer in play. This compact competition format suits players who want a clearly measured shooting challenge with a defined endpoint.
