As expected from the genre, players can collect various power-ups from the battlefield. Referred to as “Gunballs”, these pickups will afford the player a variety of different smart bombs to help clear out the screen in sticky situations. Given the unpredictable nature of enemy movement inGemini Wing, these Gunballs will prove vital for survival.
