Bang Bang Busters is a 1994 single-screen platform arcade game originally developed by Visco, though it famously remained unreleased until it was officially published by NCI in 2010. Similar in style to arcade classics like Snow Bros and Bubble Bobble, you play as characters Lazy or Honey as they navigate through stages to clear out cosmic threats. The core mechanic involves shooting enemies to inflate them like balloons, then grabbing and tossing them to take out other enemies on the screen.
How to play
Your objective is to clear all enemies on the screen to progress to the next stage. Use the Arrow Keys to move your character, Z to jump, and X to shoot your weapon. Once an enemy is fully inflated and floating, walk into them to grab them, then press X to throw them across the stage. Press Shift to insert coins and Enter to start the game.
Tips
- Try to line up multiple enemies before throwing an inflated one; taking them out in a chain reaction will earn you higher scores and better item drops.
- Don’t linger too long on a single stage. If the timer runs out, an invincible enemy will appear to hunt you down.
