About this game

In Bangai-O, young pilots Riki and Mami take control of the giant Bangai-O mecha to stop the Cosmo Gang from smuggling rare fruits for their own purposes.

This multidirectional shooter lets players fire in eight directions and switch between two distinct firing modes. Riki launches homing missiles, while Mami fires shots that bounce off walls. Defeated enemies drop fruits that function as power-ups, and successful combos can lead to stronger upgrades. The mecha can also unleash a special attack that sends shots bursting in every direction.
