It's almost like a cute version of Ghouls n Ghosts...well...if the main character sprite wasn't so ugly it would be.

It's a short, relatively easy platforming/shooter hybrid and one that you could comfortably finish in like 15 minutes after a couple playthroughs. It does have a few BS moments when learning how to route the vertically oriented stages, but much like a shm'up, it's really nice being overpowered and just tearing through bosses and enemies once you get the game down pat.

Also- I'm kind of bummed the Famicom port got scrapped. It's one piece of lost media I'd really, really like to see resurface along with the scrapped Battle Mania 3.
