❤ Toaplan-Inspired Gameplay

The game takes clear inspiration from the arcade shoot 'em up classics of the Toaplan era, such as Truxton and V/Grindstormer. Players will experience fast-paced, challenging gameplay, fending off hordes of smaller enemies and facing off against large boss enemies. The experience emulates mid-90s style arcade shoot 'em ups, with a focus on high-score chasing and replay value.

❤ Streamlined Power-Up System

Players have access to three main weapon types - a red spread shot, a green wide shot, and blue missiles. To upgrade their weapon, they must collect sets of three of the same power-up. This system encourages players to carefully manage their power-ups, as losing them can significantly weaken their ship.

❤ Scoring Mechanics

The scoring system revolves around chaining together enemy kills to earn points. Destroying consecutive groups of enemies builds a scoring multiplier, incentivizing players to play aggressively and maintain their kill chains.

❤ Challenging Difficulty

The game is widely praised for its challenging but fair difficulty. Players must master enemy patterns, bullet dodging, and weapon management to progress through the 7 stages. While difficult, the game avoids feeling unfair, with checkpoints and infinite continues allowing players to keep trying after deaths. The difficulty curve is described as striking a good balance between the tough-but-beatable nature of classic Toaplan shooters.

❤ Replayability and Modes

In addition to the main campaign, the game offers a Boss Rush mode with unique levels and bosses, as well as a Practice mode that allows players to restart from specific checkpoints. These extra modes, coupled with the score-chasing focus, provide ample replayability for genre fans looking to improve their skills and high scores.
