Unconnected Marketeers is a danmaku shoot 'em up game, in which the player moves along an automatically scrolling stage, killing enemies, dodging their projectiles, and fighting bosses at the end of each stage.[2] The player's main method of attack is using a shot. The player can focus their shot, which will slow down the player, as well as their shot's rate of fire, but tighten the cone of fire and increase its damage. The player is also given spell cards, which will clear bullets in their path, give the player invulnerability when active, and deal immense damage, but are limited in their supply. When enemies are killed, they will drop 'Power' items, which will increase the damage of the player's shot, and spell cards are also dropped, but only in specific areas, mostly after defeating bosses.
