TwinBee and WinBee serve as the two playable spacecrafts in this vertical scrolling shooter. Players navigate in eight directions, utilizing one button for standard shots and another to drop ground bombs. By shooting clouds to release bells, players can trigger color-changing power-ups that modify weapon capabilities and flight performance during combat.
