Gameplay

The game is a basic vertically scrolling shoot-'em-up, closely resembling Namco's influential Xevious. The player pilots the Soyokaze (そよかぜ) against the opposing robot army, named the Ira (イラ).[2] The goal is to accrue the highest possible score by shooting enemies and survive by dodging enemies and their projectiles. The game supports two-player simultaneous play. From the title screen, a one-player game can be started by pressing 1 on the first control pad, or a two-player game can be started by pressing 1 on the second control pad.

Enemies resemble animals, such as butterflies, dragonflies, jellyfish, and seahorses. Most enemies are flying, but there are also ground targets. There is a single stage, with a boss that appears at multiple points throughout it. The boss resembles a shelled crab and has a number on its back for the number of hits before it is destroyed. It is only vulnerable when its pincers are open. The stage loops endlessly, so the game continues until the player decides to stop playing.

The Soyokaze moves in any direction using the D-Pad. The upper third of the screen is inaccessible. The Soyokaze can launch bombs at ground targets with 1 or shoot forward at airborne targets with 2. Either button can be held for continuous fire, although it is faster to press the button rapidly. Both weapons can be fired simultaneously.

The Soyokaze is destroyed in one hit from an enemy, costing a life. It respawns in place if the player has extra lives left (with any power-up effects lost); otherwise, the game ends. There are no continues, but extra lives are given for every 100,000 points earned.
