this isn't a 1.5 star because it's awful, it's a 1.5 star cause there's just not a lot of value here. it functions fine, i'd argue it looks pretty good for the game gear, not nearly the most impressive game on the console though. controls fine, is like 20 minutes long, just not much to say.

Fun and cute. Just kinda went through first try, it's a cute demake/combo of 1 and Zwei. Being able to play as more than just Lagi is cool.

Just a massive snooze-fest, feels more like a prototype than an actual finished game. Can't complete this game because of how bare bones everything is, making the gameplay incredibly boring.

hey you know that rail shooter series we have? the one that's focused on atmosphere, environmental storytelling, and spectacle?
why don't we try putting it on a console that can't do any of those things
and can't handle a rail shooter
the music is a little cool because it's just an adaptation of zwei's music but basically all of it is misplaced (why am i hearing the music to a snow level in a desert level??)
this game reuses the same midboss in every level but the last lmao

One of the bosses reminded me of NES Godzilla. Zenith of the medium.


If you ever dared to thought "The first game didn't age very well" well son, suck those words back the hell up because you haven't even gotten a taste of how Mini is!

Where do I even begin? I played this just for "playing all the games" sake and plus thought this one would be a breezy funny one, but instead I got an insanely unfair game that makes me regret any bit of complaining I had to offer remotely for the first game.

The dodging in particular is just unfair. You have hardly any room to dodge the bullets of rocks you are shot at with, and there's these Ice Cream enemies in particular that shooting at with the lock on can never really work often on and off. And when it does, it's by the time your almost a dead one. So for my first Game Gear game, not fun at all. Kinda amusing but unfun.

So bullshit I had to pull out the cheat codes to beat it, and for anybody that dares to play it, be sure to pull out this code for Unlimited Health. 00D2-0A97
May God be with your soul for this shit and especially as a poopy in-between two great games.

Also one good thing that came out of this shitty game is this adorable fanart right here

It's amazing that this even exists. The lock on non-analogue shooting actually feels somewhat satisfying, and the boss battles look great.

This was cute! It didn't make a nuisance of itself and it kept my attention in a sort of mindless way! The dragons are cute and the enemy bosses look really cool. I went in with more or less no expectations and was surprised at how nice it was for a Game Gear game!

I will say, there's no ending. Literally just a congratulations screen and then back to the beginning--just bonkers stuff hahaha
