Description
It's a pseudo-retro 2D side-scrolling shooter with a variety of gameplay in 8 stages, with visuals (TMS9918A spec V9938 palette) and sound (PSG+SCC) enhanced to mimic the MSX standard popular in Japan in the 1980s. Formerly released for smartphones in 2014 and then passed through Steam Greenlight, the release was delayed for about 10 years due to the production company's busy schedule (Final Re:Quest The Movie). The overall volume of the game has been increased to compensate for this. The controls are very simple and familiar. The player controls a cute little girl with dots, and defeats various enemies with a series of automatic shots. The game is inspired by good old Japanese culture, Gunma's nature and customs, in the 80's style, and the ending may change some by discovering various hidden items in the stage. We aimed to create a simple and kitschy shooting game before the bullet-hell shooters. We hope you will enjoy this game if you are tired of complicated modern games. For those of you who want a more detailed description, let me add an even more special description! There are a generous 5 aircraft, 2 barriers to withstand enemy bullets, and 5 continues available! Basically, there are 8 stages in total, but there are 3 hidden stages. It may seem like an easy game, but the conditions for the appearance of the third stage are so strict that an ordinary person will not be able to clear it. The only method of attack is shot. There are no soft elements such as bombers. What's more, there are no saves and no achievements. Aren't you tired of competing for watered-down achievements by now? Rest assured that this game does not have them from the start.
