The basic gameplay is about the same as the non-endless version, with the player needing to shoot down the enemies by following the rhythm at which they appear. This version has the following additions:
*The player has a life bar which is depleted with every miss. If the player avoids getting hit again, it will start gradually refilling itself. If the bar is emptied, the screen turns red, signalling the player is in danger, though they still have a chance to recover. If they take damage while the bar is empty, the game is over.

*The player receives points for every successful shot in a pattern, going from 100, 200, 500 and 1000. Defeating every enemy in every half of a wave awards the player a "PERFECT BONUS" of 1000 points.

*The [[Shoot-'Em-Up Radio Lady]] doesn't appear between waves, instead she congratulates the player for reaching certain scores. Reaching the end of a wave instead causes a warp effect, which changes the background. The starting background is the same as the non-endless version, showing the homeworld in the top left. The second shows a variety of cubical structures with a green outline with faster stars, while the next one shows abstract blue squares, and the one after that has seven [[Space Umpire]]s without their ships in the top left. The last background shows another green-outlined structure, presumably the alien's base, and also with faster stars. Notably, the structure is also used for the background in [[Shoot-'Em-Up 2 (DS)|Shoot-'Em-Up 2]].

The player controls the Blastronaut on a mission to stop aliens from invading Earth. The game is played in first person view from the spaceship. A varying number of aliens appear on the screen one by one in groups. After four beats, the aliens attack. The player must attack them in the same order and timing, relying on the rhythm of the music. If a beat is missed, the alien is missed and damages the spaceship. The Shoot-'Em-Up Radio Lady appears at the start of each wave and the end of the game to give advice.

Once the player has reached the end of the non-endless game after clearing 3 waves, the last three enemies do not appear. Instead, it goes to the latter two waves of Shoot-'Em-Up 2. After clearing 5 waves, each half of a wave is randomized, and the enemies change shape, with stricter timing. The background loops back to the beginning, this time with a reddish-purple tint instead of the usual blue. After clearing 10 waves, the music becomes quieter during the player's turn, and the backgrounds loop again, this time with a yellow tint. After clearing 15 waves, the music mutes completely during the player's turn. The background now changes randomly each wave, using any design and any of the previous colors.
Oddly, the player is able to flick in this game in Rhythm Heaven, despite this action not doing anything. This trait is shared with Freeze Frame, Munchy Monk and Drummer Duel. All other games that don't use the flick don't allow the player to perform it.
In Rhythm Heaven Megamix, the aliens are fully grey with a green glow around them. Coupled with parts of the player's spaceship being green, this makes the game resemble the Shoot-'Em-Up 2 in Rhythm Heaven.
