Gameplay Notes:

Infinitely spawning enemies - why do devs do this?! Dumb, unreadable life bar that is a pic of an arm Decent controls with sword that hits all along its arc


Level Design Score: 1

Level Design Notes:

On-screen text callouts tell you what to do - even the devs knew that their game had poor design


Theme Score: 2

Theme Notes:

Art Style Notes:

Amiga-style graphics


Audio Score: 2

Audio Notes:

The music and sound DO NOT fit the Japanese setting like the hallelujah chorus when finding a health drop - obviously a western dev
