The original beautiful girl side-scrolling shooter is back! This work commemorates the 30th anniversary of the Cotton series.
Players can choose from a roster of six iconic playable characters, each with their own unique mechanics and playstyles. The protagonist Cotton returns with her classic magic-based abilities, while other characters like Appli, Ria, Fina, Kawase, and Luffee introduce fresh gameplay twists. For example, Appli can catch enemies with a special shot, Ria can strengthen herself by snatching enemy bullets through the "BUZZ" system, and Fina changes the gameplay to a timed mode. This character diversity allows players to experiment and find the playstyle that suits them best.
The game introduces several new shoot 'em up mechanics while staying true to the series' roots. These include elements from other acclaimed series, such as Psyvariar's "BUZZ" system and Sanvein's timed mode. For instance, the "BUZZ" system rewards players for snatching enemy bullets, while the timed mode in Fina's stages creates a more intense and challenging experience. These additions help to keep the gameplay fresh and engaging, challenging players to adapt their strategies for each stage.
The game features a total of 16 stages, with players able to choose their own route through the selective stages. Clearing all 10 initial stages will unlock new selectable stages, encouraging replayability as players experiment with different routes and character choices. The stages themselves also have unique gimmicks and challenges, from caravan-style sections to bullet-cancelling opportunities, further enhancing the variety of the gameplay experience.
Players can choose from three difficulty levels - Easy, Normal, and Hard - catering to both casual and veteran shoot 'em up enthusiasts. While the game can be accessible on the lower difficulties, the higher settings provide a more challenging experience, especially for those aiming to maximize their scores on the leaderboards. The scoring system, which rewards players for managing their multiplier and cancelling bullets, adds an additional layer of depth and strategy to the gameplay.
