Pulsars periodically electrify the lane that they occupy - if the blaster is in that lane at that moment, it is destroyed. Flippers attempt to catch the player's blaster and drag it to the far end of the playfield. There are seven types of enemies in the game, each with their own behavior pattern. After reaching Stage 99, the level counter stops increasing and each successive level shape is picked randomly.Д®nemies first appear on the screen as swirling dots beyond the far end of the field, appearing on the field one at a time. One set of levels (65 through 80) is 'invisible' (black).

When all sixteen levels have been played, the sequence repeats with a different color scheme and higher difficulty. Some levels are closed tubes that allow the player to loop throughout it continuously, while others have definite left and right endpoints. The game features sixteen unique levels of different shapes, including simple geometric shapes, a flat line, and the symbol for Infinity. A second use of the Superzapper in the same level destroys one random enemy, and the Superzapper is recharged between each level. The blaster is also equipped with a 'Superzapper' which, once per level, destroys all enemies currently on the field. The player's blaster can rapid-fire shots down individual lanes of the field, destroying any enemies within the same lane.

The player controls a blaster at the near end of the field, moving it left and right using a rotary knob. The goal in Tempest is to survive for as long as possible, and score as many points as possible, by clearing the screen of enemies that appear on the playing field. The arcade version with the player's lane in yellow and three red flippers moving along the rim. Tempest was one of the first video games with a progressive level design where the levels themselves varied rather than giving the player the same layout with increasing difficulty. This feature increases the maximum starting level depending on the player's performance in the previous game, essentially allowing the player to continue the previous game. It was also the first to let players choose their starting level (a system Atari called 'SkillStep'). Tempest was one of the first games to use Atari's Color- QuadraScan vector display technology. The player controls a claw-shaped 'blaster' that sits on the edge of the surface, snapping from segment to segment as a rotary knob is turned. It takes place on a three-dimensional surface divided into lanes, sometimes as a closed tube, and viewed from one end. Tempest is a 1981 arcade game by Atari Inc., designed and programmed by Dave Theurer.
