Released by Konami in 1991, Detana!! TwinBee (often referred to as Detana Twin Bee Japan Ver J) is a vibrant, vertical-scrolling cute ’em up that brought the classic franchise to arcade cabinets with a major graphical upgrade. You take control of the titular shipโor team up with WinBee in co-op modeโto blast through colorful, whimsical stages filled with quirky enemies and challenging bullet patterns.
How to Play
Your objective is to survive each stage and defeat the boss at the end by dodging enemy fire and destroying both airborne and grounded targets. In the browser emulator, use 5 to insert a coin and 1 to start. Move your ship with the Arrow keys, use Z or Ctrl to fire your primary weapon at flying enemies, and press X or Alt to drop bombs on ground targets.
Tips
- Shoot the clouds to reveal bells, and juggle them with your shots to change their color. Each color grants a different power-up, such as speed boosts or a shield.
- Be careful not to shoot a bell too many times, or it will break and turn into an enemy bee.
- If your ship’s arms are destroyed by enemy fire, you can no longer drop bombs on ground targets. Wait for an ambulance power-up to repair them.
