The Solvalou continually advances over varying terrain, and the boundaries between areas are marked only by dense forests being flown over. The game scrolls through 16 areas, looping back to Area 7 after Area 16. Giant floating Andor Genesis motherships appear in certain areas these must be defeated by knocking out their cores, and are considered one of the first level bosses to be incorporated into a video game. Ground enemies are a combination of stationary bases and moving vehicles, most of which also fire slow-moving bullets at the player. There are various aerial enemy aircraft which fire relatively slow-moving bullets at the player, as well as (presumably unpiloted) fast-moving projectiles, and exploding black spheres. The game, presumably set in Peru, was notable for the varied terrain below, which included forests, airstrips, enemy bases - and mysterious Nazca Lines-like drawings on the ground. The player must use an 8-way joystick, to pilot a combat aircraft called a Solvalou, which is armed with a forward-firing Zapper for aerial targets and a Blaster which fires an unlimited supply of air-to-surface bombs for ground targets.
