A great wacky game, perfect for fulfilling my male fantasies!


This game is notorious for having command moves to use many shots available despite being a shmup. But it's not as bad as people say, though can someone at least upload a manual of the game...? There should be a movelist within that book!


The very first and obvious barrier to enjoy this game is how the heck should one control the game. Thankfully you don't have to do hadoken or shoryuken inputs to survive this game. I don't know the complete movesets, and many of my moves in the game are accidental, but the important ones are, assuming you're aiming right:
- Neutral Shot: Basic lock on shot, weak but since its main purpose is to chase off odd-angle enemies and popcorns, this is good enough.

- ←, → + Shot: Scanline flex shot. These will be the most used attack. Since accessing the attacks is cumbersome the game compensates it by making the shots powerful as heck. Big enemies can be shot down with this powerful flex around 6 times! Mastering the zany moves is that important! But mastering this one is enough to survive comfortably. This shot checks damage by 1 frame on a scanline hitbox, so you must be accurate with the timing. Can also be done in other 3 directions, making the game more or less a twin stick shooter.
- ↓, → + Shot: Men's beam. A laser that you can unleash when your head is flashing. The animation is long, so be careful to not activate this when not needed! Otherwise it's powerful.


Then there is the dodge button where you can spin and become invincible to many stuff except some. A very important move, but by doing this you'll lose opportunities to attack. Use this wisely.


As for the lives, the main one is the timer above. It acts more like a fuel than a time limit, really. The time limit can be recharged, and when you lose all the hearts the time limit will be consumed. You can't continue in this game, so the key is still the usual: Don't get hit too much and shoot stuff to oblivion.


After you've passed the initial moveset-learning barrier this game is quite cathartic! The stage design is healthily varied and enemies die quickly, which makes the hectic way to activate your attacks feel very satisfying and worth it. This game is actually pretty easy to 1cc! I've achieved this upon my 3rd run, actually.


If you want to fulfill your male fantasies by blowing stuff up, this is the perfect game! This is also a great example of as wacky as your game's system is, with stage design suited for it you'll manage to make your game great!


Also the game has 4 endings, text difference only, based on your score. Considering the main source of score is enemy destruction, good luck mastering the moves and destroying them all! I've only got Rank C on this run but I can't do much without manuals teaching me how to play it...
