Game Guide

In Air Fortress (Japan), start by familiarizing yourself with the controls. Use the joystick to move your aircraft left, right, up, and down. The A button is usually for shooting. As you progress through the levels, keep an eye out for power-ups. These can give you more powerful weapons or extra lives. When facing bosses, study their attack patterns. Dodge their attacks and look for openings to strike. Try to stay in the middle of the screen as much as possible to avoid getting hit by enemy fire from the sides. Also, be careful when flying through narrow passages as there are often hidden enemies or obstacles. Continuously move and shoot to keep the enemies at bay. And don't forget to use your bombs wisely, which can clear out a large number of enemies in one go.
