Gorf is a game that consists of five levels. The first level called Astro Battles has the player's ship behind a defensive shield, defending against an alien attack. The second level called Laser Attack is made up of a formation of ships, with some that swoop down and a laser that fires at the player's ship. The third level is called Galaxians, and as the name suggests it is very similar to the game Galaxian with ships constantly dive bombing the player's spaceship. The fourth level called Space Warp, has the player entering hyperspace.. The viewpoint switches from a top-down view to a behind-the-ship view. One by one, alien vessels will come out and fly in a circular formation shooting at the player's ship with the players goal being to destroy each one. The fifth and final level is called Flag Ship. In this level, the player does not fight a wave of enemies, but a single one which happens to be a large Flag Ship with a weak spot which is its core.
