GOES SO FUCKING HARD, i got it on a pure whim because the cover looked interesting i didnt even realize it was a shmup when i got it but WOAH
W OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAH this shit rulES

You get a nice little bit of story about these girls going off to stop the supergenius "Dr Tequila" (yeah) and u ride around in aircrafts beating the shit out of everything in your way
what makes this otherwise 1:1 saturday morning OVA story have nice cherries on top is theres a little bit of japanese voice acting in the cutscenes and there's a cute bit of whimsy going on with lightly touching on where the girls need to head next

And whimsy is like
the understatement of the century

there's genies, flying squirrels, lumberjack robot, a tall idol girl, a drive in movie theater, clowncore OUT THE A SS S SS S SS, power upgrade balloons thatre so plentiful tht even if you die and get your fully upgraded weapon knocked out, chances are youll still go into a boss having atleast your lvl 2!! AND THE WEAPONS ARE SO FUN TOO YOU GUYS OMFG YOU GET A FRENCH FRY BLASTER THT LOOKS LIKE YOUR DEFAULTTT THE HEATSEEKING JELLYBEAN BLASTERS, THE ICE CREAM BLASTERS THATRE MORE CONCENTRATED AND SACRIFICE SPEED FOR MORE THICK LASERS GWAHAHAHAH AND THERE'S A PIE THROWING ONE YOU CAN THROW CREAM PIES AT THE ENEMY... uh.
unfortunately i think the pies were the trickiest weapon to use though lmao
I still thought they were fun for heaps of damage but mjost of the time i hated using them for the larger clumps of enemies when i mostly had either jellybeans or icecream at lvl 3 and pies at only lvl 1, ick.....
BUT U CAN USE ANY OF THESE AND THEYRE REALLY FUN AND THE SPRITES ARE SOOO NICE
NOT EVEN JUST THE SPRITES OF SHIT YOU FIGHT INGAME BUT THE BACKGROUNDS HAVE CRAZY SHIT GOING ON LMAO THERE'S PEOPLE OUT HERE DYIN
TRAGIC DEATHS EVERYHERE WITH THE GRUNT ENEMIES
EVEN JUST GUYS CHILLIN TRYING TO DRINK SOME TALL GLASS OF BEER U CAN JUST SHOOT THE SHIT OUT OF BECAUSE.. REASONS!

but the best part of it all
its NOT. HARD. its very easy actually as far as OLD shmups go like i died a lot but i was supremely enjoying and plowin through most of this
I dont even think there was at any point a boss that took me more than atleast one or two tries, especially because you get different super special attack charges in the game that vary depending on what weapon you have equipped :) !!
It's so lovely and weird and silly
I guess my only gripe is like, i GUESS the shortness and easiness is a double edged sword because i wanted more!! but! im okay with a reasonably good 1hour to 2hour experience
i guess this just means i need to look into the genre more :)
definitely try this out even if you dont normally fw shoot em up games <3
