Targets: Targets are what stops the level, can be destroyed.

Gameplay is fairly basic, following a level-based method after the start level. You use your available rifle pickup, and picking up health packs, you want to eliminate targets and destroy all the targets with your available ammo, using ammo pickups as well. You do this for two levels to complete the game.
