Double Tap Barrel Button to Barrel Roll
Barrel Rolls are great for evading enemy fire and bullets! You'll need to double press the barrel button to perform a Barrel Roll while in the air.
Engage Enemy from a Vertical Angle
Use the X-4 Stormwing Plane to engage unsuspecting enemies from the sky! Firing down on enemies directly from above will open all new opportunity of attacks!
