Shoot back the enemy bullets! The breakout-like shooter with a variety of items and gimmicks!
GUNBARICH is a breakout-like shooter game that first appeared in arcades in 2001.
Control the flipper and shoot the pink ball = puck to break all the blocks to clear the stage.
You miss if you run out of time or drop the puck.You can use the flipper to shoot back enemy bullets as well as the puck.
The enemy bullets you shoot back can cause massive damage if you hit an enemy character.
You can also control the activation of the puck and enemy bullets hit by the flipper with left and right inputs.You can set the difficulty level, life, number of continues, controls, screen orientation, item dropping speed, enemy bullet speed, and more.
In addition, now we have online rankings!
