The goal of this game is to rid the farm of vermin by successfully hitting targets using the light gun in each of the game’s three areas. These areas include, the barn, cornfield, and barnyard. The player must take out all enemies on screen by using less than 40 bullets. This forces the player to improve accuracy each round. If the player runs out of bullets before eliminating all critters, the game ends.
There is a fourth bonus area called “Gramp’s bonus screen.” This area allows players a chance to improve their shooting skill and earn extra points. This area is unlocked each time the player completes the other three areas successfully.
Players are assigned a rank based on how many screens were completed before the game ends. The rank ranges from “total dud” when zero screens are completed to “blaster” when a minimum of 33 screens are completed.
This game can be played either with 1 or 2 players

There are five different view options — the cockpit, both left and right wings, the navigational map and the bomb bay — which can be accessed by using the keyboard or by double-tapping the fire button and moving the joystick to the desired direction.
When in missions, the player controls an RAF Mosquito which is already airborne, mitigating the necessity of takeoff. When starting a mission, the player chooses what supplies they wish to bring, but the more the player brings the lower the maximum speed of the plane. At the end of missions, landing is not required and points are awarded according to how many enemies are shot down, along with the amount of unused fuel, bombs, and missiles.
When missions are completed, the player can choose to combine two or more of the other missions to produce a mashup
