The object of the game is to battle against your opponent simply by moving your tank around the arena, face the correct position and then fire at your enemy. On each hit the energy of your opponent (or vice-versa) will be drained. After your opponent is defeated (or reverse) then a round is won.

The spaceship has 5 "warps" to teleport to another random point of the screen, but always at least at a certain minimum distance from the crosshair.
