The bottom line of the screen shows the status of the game at any time. The number on the left is the timer which counts down as you watch.
The number in the center shows how many shots you have fired. After every six shots the word LOAD appears here, and there is a short delay while your gun is reloaded. Although the time keeps running, you can't move your sight or fire during reloading, so don't waste your bullets! When the word LOAD disappears, you can start shooting again. The "gun" in this game is also a bit old-fashioned, so don't fire too fast or it will overheat and become "jammed." There will be a delay while the jam is cleared, during which time you can't shoot!
