Version FAQ

What special moves can you use besides shooting your main guns?

Every pilot's plane has specific powerful bomb attacks mapped to a Bomb button — this clears much enemy fire and small foes and may affect bosses differently for each pilot chosen.

Is there a hidden character mode to play as?

The original arcade game introduced a unique selection of pilots, including Keaton the dolphin; more variants were added over multiple console versions making each run a surprise.

Are two players supported at game start?

Absolutely! Two-player action has you both on screen fighting together side-by-side—both players’ planes can get hit equally though so coordinate your bomb and power strategy—it’s classic friendly rivalry.
