Summary

Barunda (commonly just called Barunba) puts you in command of a floating globe with a tiny pilot inside, surrounded by a ring of weapons that you can spin at will. This rotating arm lets you aim fire in any direction, which is a lifesaver when enemies swarm from behind. As you blast through the auto‑scrolling stages, exploding foes drop items that temporarily boost the various weapon types you start with. Each level twists and turns, culminating in a mid‑level boss and a larger showdown at the end. Your ship’s energy bar sits at the bottom left, and once it’s drained, the game ends, keeping the tension high throughout the run.
