About Lethal Thunder (World)
Rapidly tapping the fire button builds a power gauge that strengthens your weapons, though the gauge drains if you stop tapping. This energy can be consumed via the bomb button to trigger smart bomb attacks, with larger explosions possible at higher power levels. Collecting power-ups alters projectile types, such as spreading lasers, while performance across multiple levels determines which of the game's endings you receive.
Player layout in our catalog: 2P sim.
