Countless wars have been fought over the unique and enigmatic allure of sushi. A number of intrigues have centered around the search for the highest quality tuna, and there were even those who sold soy sauce poured into custard and called it eel. Hordes of men and women had been burned at the stake for offenses such as mistaking garden and Japanese eels, or not ordering shime with fried eggs. The year was 1887. After a period of unprecedented chaos, sushi was finally banned, and the Royal Edomae Agency was established under the strict control of the monarchy. However, this could not quell the hunger of the people, and so a collective of underground chefs began to circulate sushi on the black market. The underground sushi production movement finally became an antimonarchy countermovement and exploded into a bloody feud with the Royal Edomae Agency. It's been one year since the conflict began. On a dark and stormy night, a young farm girl named Revaia sheltered an underground sushi chef. At that time, the chef, who was on death's door, opened the door of wisdom (Hezed) and bestowed upon her the ability to make sushi (Dagon Mishu). With this, the sushi makers' secret weapon, Revaia's fate was to be pursued by the Royal Edomae Agency. To put it plainly, it was a huge pain. Although the game is isometric Up still makes the character move up and left makes her move left. Always keep this is mind. The shots she makes are two fireballs which move in a straight line. The typical shmup weapon. Unlike in most shmups though you have health, you can heal health buy collecting a certain amount of sushi. If you run out of health you die and start at the last checkpoint, like in Gradius games. Destroying enemies will produce sushi with sushi you get score but opens up a few extra options to what your character can do. Edoma Wave - After collecting a certain amount of sushi you can use this to transform all bullets into a special type of sushi and activate Burst Mode. In Burst Mode anything you'll hit will create the same special sushi. This sushi heals you. Maximum Mode - When you collect enough sushi you'll enter Maximum Mode in this mode your attack power is increased and you'll get bonus points for a certain amount of time. Maximum Mode will wear off if you get hit, activate Edoma Wave, or run out of time. In the options screen if you enable this bullets will move slightly slower. If its enabled it'll be noted in the scores screen. Reject - If an enemy enters the circle around your character and tries to attack it'll be canceled. This doesn't work on all attacks however. The circle will shrink slowly while your firing. Depending on your performance, Phase Level will increase. When it does enemies will improve in difficulty. This may sound bad however you'll get bonus points for higher phase levels. Every time you die or use the Edoma Wave your phase level will lower. Time Limit - When you encounter a boss you'll get a timer to appear. Like in most shmups the boss will self-destruct when time runs out. The more time you have left the more score you get. If a boss does self-destruct you'll get no bonus score whatsoever, so be sure to kill them. |
