Kamakazi is a side view single screen shooter that has you controlling a spacecraft at the bottom of the screen, moving left or right, blasting aliens in formation above over various waves. As you blast the aliens some will swoop down the screen dropping bombs and if you touch an alien or it's bombs then you lose one of three lives. Once a wave has been destroyed then you move to the next wave and the aliens take various forms with some requiring more than one shot to destroy. There are two skill levels to choose from and they are Slow or Fast.
