You control the Blaster which resides on the outer edge of the electric well.  You can move clockwise or counter-clockwise around the well, and you can fire directly down into the well. Enemies climb up from the bottom of the well to the outer edges where your Blaster sits.  You must destroy every enemy in the well in order to advance to the next stage. You must avoid contact with every enemy and the shots that they fire at you or you will lose one life.  You must also avoid well spikes when you advance to the next stage.
In addition to your main gun, you receive one Zapper weapon every stage, which can be used to obliterate every enemy currently on the screen. The Zapper can be used on additional time with a much weaker effect, only eliminating enemies that are right on top of you, per stage.
