Bee Storm - DoDonPachi II (V100, World)

Bee Storm - DoDonPachi II is notoriously difficult for new players, so these tips will help you survive longer and hit higher scores no matter your skill level. First, pick your ship based on your playstyle: the Type A fighter has narrow, concentrated fire perfect for single-target boss damage and speedruns, Type B offers balanced spread and focused fire ideal for first-time players, while Type C has wide spread shot that clears waves of small enemies easily but struggles with high-HP bosses. Your core controls include a standard shot (hold for focused fire on all ships), a bomb that clears all on-screen bullets and deals massive damage to bosses (you start with 3, and can pick up extra drops from defeated enemies), and the Hyper Gauge system, which fills as you chain kills without dropping your combo. Never drop your combo if you’re chasing high scores: even a 2-second gap between kills resets your multiplier, so prioritize shooting every enemy on screen even if they’re not in your direct path. Activate your Hyper Gauge when you’re overwhelmed by dense bullet patterns: not only does it increase your shot damage dramatically, it also converts all on-screen enemy bullets into score pickups, which can push your combo multiplier into double digits. For boss fights, memorize their attack patterns first: every boss has 3 to 4 distinct attack phases, each with predictable bullet spread. Stay near the bottom of the screen to give yourself maximum time to dodge incoming fire, and save your bombs for the final phase of each boss, where bullet density peaks. Also, keep an eye out for the hidden golden bee collectibles scattered across every level: each one you collect adds 10,000 points to your score, and collecting all 7 in a single level grants you an extra 1-up, a crucial resource for making it through the game’s brutal final two levels. If you do find yourself trapped with no room to dodge, don’t hesitate to use a bomb: losing a bomb is always better than losing a life, w
