The peaceful land of Lowres had been swallowed by the “waves of evolution” after losing the protection of its beloved princess. Now, led by the voice of her Ladyship, Ten and Till don the “power of feelings” and set off on a journey... A journey to protect the light of Lowres... There are two playable characters in the game, the titular Ten and Till. These two characters can be swapped between on the fly, with each one possessing their own strengths and limitations. A swordsman-in-training . Overflowing with righteousness, Ten is a young girl who bears the swordsmanship and manner of dress passed down in her village for generations. (It's said that her home village's culture originated from another world long ago.) Ten's shot type is a powerful, concentrated burst that hits enemies directly in front of her. An up-and-coming dancer . Till is a kind girl who brings smiles to the people of Lowres through her alluring dances. Although she's always being helped out by Ten, Till hopes to one day be able to support her friend in the way her friend’s supported her. Till's shot type is a less powerful but screen-encompassing spread shot that can hit multiple enemies at once.
