Keep the world from falling into one girl's control! Fire back in
four directions to survive the assault!

Strange and unusual creatures inhabited Earth's underground,
unknown to humankind. This was until Momoko, a fashion-obsessed
high school girl, accidentally discovered them. Together, they
plotted to combine the civilizations above and below the surface to
create a new world: Dezatopia.

The player controls Akane and Aoba, Momoko's schoolmates who were
hired to help start construction of the towering subterranean
bridge until they discovered the extent of her plans. They decided
to thwart the ambitions of Momoko and her loyal beasts with their
work ship, the Speleological Fighter Pink Aurora.

The craft has four unique, intuitive weapons to fight back against
enemies from all directions. Upgrades and items can also be
purchased from a mid-flight shop, but these advantages are
countered by a dynamic difficulty system that automatically adjusts
to match the player's skill level to ensure their experience,
strategy, technique, and luck are always tested.

Each stage is filled with a variety of surprising gimmicks along
with distinctive bosses that await at the end in massive machines.
These are arranged in predetermined routes for high replayability.
Detailed pixel art and smooth animation bring the underground
backgrounds to life, and the retro familiarity of the FM synth
soundtrack makes the original melodies memorable. It all combines
for a truly vivid audio-visual spectacle.

The cast of characters, from the three human high schoolers to the
weird underground creatures, is also filled with personality. Their
aspirations and reasons for fighting form the backbone of the
quirky story.

This expansive, detailed game can be enjoyed by anyone, anywhere,
and it offers an experience like no other. Feel it for yourself.
