It stands upright and vertical for the cabinet style. Flashgal is controlled by the player who controls when she kicks, punches, and jumps to move through the various levels.[5][2]

According to Retro Gamer, the game is a superhero beat 'em up that "takes a lot of its inspiration from" Kung-Fu Master (1984).[3] It is a single-plane brawler that distinguishes its gameplay with the use of auto-scrolling.
