How to play
In Gun Bird, your primary objective is to pilot your chosen aircraft through six vertically scrolling stages, destroying waves of enemy units and avoiding their projectiles. You control your ship with a joystick, moving in eight directions, and have two main attack buttons: one for your standard rapid-fire shot and another for a powerful screen-clearing bomb that grants temporary invincibility. Collect power-up items dropped by specific enemies to enhance your main weapon's strength and spread, and gather gold coins to increase your score and earn extra lives. Each stage culminates in a challenging boss fight that requires careful pattern recognition and evasion. As a beginner, focus on memorizing enemy spawn points and bullet patterns, and conserve your bombs for emergency situations when you are cornered. The game's difficulty escalates quickly, so maintaining a powered-up weapon is crucial for survival. In tense moments, prioritize dodging over attacking, and learn to use the subtle speed variations of your ship to weave through dense bullet patterns.
