Gunbird

Gunbird uses anime-styled character as the player's chosen craft. A story plays out in between levels and before boss fights, telling a tale of how the protagonists are trying to collect pieces of a magic mirror to make a wish.

A comical story about the "magical mirror" that makes wishes come true.

You can see the dialogue demos that unfold during the intermission and when the boss appears,

and the dialogue between the characters that changes when the 2 players mode.
