■ The "Insane" Three-Layer Structure of This Game That Will Perplex Everyone
[1] Main Stage (1-120F): An Incomprehensible Tutorial
An action game that combines billiards and golf, where you control a ball using only smartphone tilt controls (gyro) and aim for the hole (goal) while avoiding incoming red balls.
At first, you'll be frustrated wondering, "Why am I a ball?" and "Why am I repeating this task?" First, learn skills such as flick movement and stun attacks to break through this long chaos.
[2] Hidden Stages (1-100F): The True Story Mode
When you overcome the mystery of the 120th floor, the game changes dramatically.
Enemies that you previously only avoided can now be "defeated," and the game evolves into a "status-building hack-and-slash" where you strengthen your character with points earned from defeating enemies.
What is revealed is a story of lost memories set in Fukawa, Tone-machi, Kita-Soma-gun, Ibaraki Prefecture.
In the place where young Kunio Yanagita lived, he opened an old shrine in the garden and witnessed a mysterious "stone sphere" inside. Immediately afterward, captivated by the gleam of ancient coins he unearthed from the ground, he experienced a "hallucination" in which he saw dozens of stars in the blue sky in broad daylight. (From "Experiments in Hallucinations," included in Kunio Yanagida's "Discussions on Yokai")
Yes, the "orb" you were controlling was the very "sacred object of the shrine" that drove a 14-year-old boy mad and opened the door to later Japanese folklore studies.
[3] Hidden Stage: Endless Guardian Mode (Score Attack)
The final defense battle on a completely fixed floor awaits beyond the true ending.
As the orb protecting the shrine, you must defend the line from countless enemies disguised as "yokai" in this extremely difficult score attack. Choose your character's style from [Warrior, Gunner, Sorcerer, Summoner, Trapper] and subdue the supernatural with your own strategy.
