Sept. 2025

An interesting take on the side scrolling beat em up genre. The basic idea is that rather than having to avoid defeat at the hands of your enemies (as far as I'm aware you can't actually lose) your goal is to perform well in combat since the story on display here is being done as a stage play. Continue long combos, deliver amazing special attacks, and save the day in order to raise the audience mood meter and thus increase the speed at which you can fill up the star rating in hopes of getting a 5 star rating for the stage. Also each stage has challenges in need of completion in order to unlock charms that can be equipped for various boosting effects. A jolly good time!
