Overview and Gameplay
Dr. Cinnamon sends TwinBee and WinBee to rescue GwinBee from Poko Poko Dai Maou. The vertically scrolling mission spans five stages, with the first four available in a chosen order and the final area reserved for Poko Poko’s stronghold. Each stage ends with a boss battle.
Controls And Mechanics
TwinBee and WinBee move freely, fire forward at airborne enemies, and drop bombs on ground targets. Shooting clouds reveals bells whose colors change under repeated fire, granting speed upgrades, stronger weapons, barriers, bonus points, or temporary invincibility.
Ground targets can release fruit, money, extra lives, weapon candy, and Dr. Cinnamon. Collecting Dr. Cinnamon opens a timed bonus area after the stage. Damage can remove a ship’s arms and disable bombs until an ambulance repairs them. A defeated powered-up ship leaves a soul that restores most upgrades when collected.
Two-player mode runs simultaneously as cooperative play. Flying side by side creates a wide star shot, while vertical alignment produces a rotating barrier formation.
