At its core, Umihara Kawase Bazooka!! is a fixed screen action game. Perform combos with the new “Bazooka” action and aim for the high score. With over 40 stages (planned), plenty of challenge awaits. Up to four players can play together in local cooperative or hindrance play.

If you enjoy classic single-screen arcade games and want to play one with a few friends then you'll dig Umihara Kawase BaZooKa!
