Gameplay in Gun Bombers is an enhanced evolution of its predecessor, Mine Bombers, featuring additional power-ups and environmental hazards like toxic gas and lava rivers. While the digging mechanic requires some initial adjustment, it quickly becomes intuitive, contributing to a more engaging experience.
