Mikage and Tomomi Matsunaga are not exactly your ordinary junior high school students. The two girls have a well kept secret - they are the 'Miracle Girls', and they both share extraordinary powers allowing them to communicate telepathically or to vanish into thin air and teleport themselves at will. The game begins in a school campus, just as the girls and four of their friends are about to start their lunch break. Suddenly, a glowing ball of light appears and teleport them into a distant and strange world. Furthermore, her friends have now mysteriously disappeared and the two girls embark on a long journey to find out who is behind all these strange events... The player can either play as Mikage or her twin sister Tomomi, and they both come equipped with the most unusual weapon - candies.

Game Review - originally written by Spinner 8

For God’s sake, it’s a platform game with two cute TWINS! How can you not love it? You know you do, dammit. So anyways you control one of these girls (the difference between them is not easily distinguished), and you walk to the right and you’re cute. How do you defeat these creatures that block your path, you ask? You throw candy at them! And they eat the candy, and they eat contentedly, and that’s your chance to slip by, as they chew merrily on the mysterious free candy! And then there’s these platforms that plummet to the ground the second you step on them and you die and the end.

Neat little game with a cute as hell aesthetic, your way of dealing with enemies is by throwing candy at them and it only temporarily stops them for a few seconds with each stage having a boss that challenges you to a mini-game duel. It's barely an hour long and doesn't overstay it's welcome at all, I also liked how It was a tad bit challenging here and there, the last level is CV inspired and tests what you learned in the game in a sweet way.

Oh my god this game made me mad. It is based off the TV anime, not the manga, which is weird because it uses the manga artwork on the box specifically (the anime and manga are vastly different from each other). This game has some great spritework and interesting level designs, but, my god, do the enemies get annoying the further on in the game you go. Also, the umbrella water mini game is awful. However, the part that I find fun is the use of telepathy to get through the levels.

I played this game cause I thought the cover was cute and what I got out of it was a very by the numbers platformer. This feels like a game someone was like "Make a game out of this" and then the people did the most minimum work they could do. Honestly the score I gave it might be too generous.

Maybe I should have watched the source material but I have no motivation to watch it sadly. It's not even a bad game it's just I have almost nothing to say. There isn't even bosses to fight, you just play these boring minigames and there's like 2 different ones depending who you play as.

I will say I'm surprised throwing candies to stun and get on top of enemies works as well as it does because I feel like it would lead to a disaster of a game if done wrong. Despite it's short run though I can't really say you should play it. It does have a fan translation if you are curious though it's easy to get through without it.
