Re-released by mobrix, Gundbird II is a classic bullet hell shooter from the Gunbird franchise, that was originally released in 1998. Like other entries in this genre, players will fly overhead, dodging enemy projectiles while shooting down as many as possible. In this game, players are controlling a flying character, as opposed to a gunship of sorts.
There are a total of six different characters in this game, though five of them need to be unlocked in order to become playable. Players will earn gold left behind when enemies are destroyed, which can then be spent on things such as life, extra bombs, slots for carrying more bombs, and so on. The controls are simple, and use a combination of virtual buttons and swiping. The player’s character auto fires, and moves in the direction that players drag their fingers. There are a couple of buttons available, for either short or long range special attacks, and bombs.
