You control a submarine with both a forward shooting laser and a bomb which will take out objects slightly in-front and below you. The laser can be angled up and down by moving your vessel in the appropriate direction. Your only aim is to take down as many of your enemies as possible before your lives run out. The entities that are bent on your destruction include mines, which slowly float to the top of the water as you approach, fast moving sharks, randomly wandering octopuses and ships that drop depth charges on you from above.
