Bee Storm - DoDonPachi II (V100, Japan)

Getting started: Insert a coin (press Enter) to begin. You control a ship using the D-Pad. Fire automatically or hold the attack button to unleash a steady stream of bullets. The core loop is simple: dodge incoming enemy fire while shooting everything in sight. Collect power-ups dropped by enemies to increase your firepower or gain a bomb.

Bombs clear the screen of bullets and damage all enemies - use them sparingly because they are limited. Your ship has a hitbox much smaller than its sprite, usually located at the center. Memorizing enemy patterns and learning when to bomb is key to progressing. The game is unforgiving: one hit loses a life, and continues are limited. If you are new to bullet hell shooters, start by focusing on survival rather than scoring.

Since this version may be a hack, menus are likely in English or Japanese depending on the build. If text is in Japanese, navigate by trial and error - options like continue and settings are often on the right side of the screen. The V100 label suggests a specific build number, but gameplay remains faithful to the original DoDonPachi II.
