This developer knows their japanese shmup and gaming history. The game is very well designed containing references to classic games; 2 examples of which are both the player ship type, shop mechanism and stage 1 reminding strongly of Ordyne, whilst the stage 2 boss reminds me of the old Nintendo Game and Watch game Octopus. The harpoon mechanic is superb fun working both for surival and especially for scoring, for those interested, as the closer to enemies harpooned the player manages to remain the more score is obtained , whilst also offering bonuses on popcorns. There are no doubt loads of references and secrets I've still to discover.The game also lets you create certain weapons in a factory in the Quest Mode as a way of unlocking new types. The graphics are great and the OST is very good,11 found this helpful
Yeah it's pretty sweet. Very confused as to why this is so slept on.3 found this helpful
A very enjoyable shmup with such vibrant colors and quirky enemies. Shooting harpoon into big enemies and dragging them back is so satisfying. Highly recommended.3 found this helpful
Another solid title from Wandering Wonder3 found this helpful
Super fun and creative cute-em-up. Features a super-easy mode with no enemy bullets, normal mode, and hard mode. Uncomplicated mechanics and a simple (yet fun) harpoon gimmick make this a great title to play in short bursts.2 found this helpful
A very bouncy cute-em-up where you can stab enemies with a harpoon and then lock your fire onto them. You can dismantle the bosses piece-by-piece which is highly amusing. Looks great and has lots of energy. Another review compared it to Namco's Ordyne and that's spot on as far as vibes, Levels are a little long but that's the only qualm.1 found this helpful
