How this game works?
- The objective is simple, defeat your enemy. No ring outs, you have to defeat all. Incase there are 4 enemies, then you have to defeat all 4 of them. There can be 6 characters on screen at one time. You'll control 1 character, whereas the rest is controlled by the computer.
- There will be items scattered around the battlefield. Items are :
* Hammer
* Baseball bat
* Megaphone
* Chair
* Chest box
- Chest box will either contain an item, or give damage to you. The chest box that damage you are called gimmick chest.
Powerup items
* Shoes = Increase speed
* SOS-Dan arm band = Increase the number of attacks
* Tea cup = increase SOS meter
* Shinny Pearls = Transforms your character to alternate outfit.
- Awakening mode. Happens when your SOS ( power meter ) reaches max, you'll be able to use special and Super special unlimitedly for a short period of time. Your SP will gradually decrease to 50% back.
- During some stages, there will be random characters that will damage you if you're too near / hit them.
There are 4 stages in the game.
When you are in your alternate outfit, you character gets a new weapon and has a new Super Special attack. When you the pearls, your character will transform into :
Kyon = Space Cadet (Day of Saggitarius)
Haruhi = Bunny Girl (with guitar weapon)
Mikuru = Battle maid (with picket sign)
Yuki = Witch
Itsuki = bathing suit (^^
Asakura = Flame Haze Shana
Tsuruya = Waitress
Secrets
Apparently there is only one, which is to unlock Tsuraya. To unlock her, complete the Arcade mode. Be warned, the last battle is 2 vs 4. Tips for the last battle : Hit and run, no questions asked there.
What do you think of the game ?
Its not too deep, which is good. Anyone can play and enjoy this game. Its a simple yet addictive at the same time. My only complain is that the game will run slow when there is too many characters on screen ( maybe my PC specification sucks, lolz ), and you can't play it full screen. Also, I wish they would make better BGM for the game, because the BGM really hurts my ear. I like to use Asakura the most. Tsuraya is HAX, overpowered but you can manage if you know the trick. Tsuraya's Super Special is MADNESS AWESOME !
Try it !
