About this game

Bells & Whistles is a top-down vertical shooter in Konami’s TwinBee series of “cute’em ups.” Players follow Pastel and Light as they attempt to save Princess Melora from an evil force threatening the world.

The game features six stages filled with surreal, colorful enemies. Shooting colored bells dropped by enemies lets players alter their colors before collecting them, unlocking different power-ups and upgrades. A new charge shot expands the basic arsenal, while single-player and two-player cooperative modes support the action.
