easily one of the best-looking 8-bit games i've played. its use of color within a limited palette is just stunning, constantly. even the composition of the images, also palette-limited, benefits from the eye of an experienced manga-ka. and the animation! sparse as it is, it really makes this feel like some obscure japanese pc game - not a famicom vn.

the game's story is fairly conventional '80s sci-fi anime mecha fluff punctuated by goofy "flirting" (or just straight perving) and the latter is borderline cringe most of the time (you and your girlfriend seem to be dead-set on brutally negging each other, with your little sister's presence making it weird), but it's all fairly innocent. in the end, we're lucky to have this little gem playable in english, and it makes me wish there was more like it.
