Manual
1. How the game works This game is you shooting down the enemies while dodging enemy bullets. There is a boss at the end of stage, and when you defeat it, you can acheive 'stage clear'. Story - A mysterious spiritual form that comes out of the body. It is a phenomena observed in humans, youkais and even fairies, which is called the divine spirit. This isn't particularly harmful, but the girls who don't leave incidents unattended takes their course towards the Netherworld, where they thought had the most connection with spirit-related matter. * Currently, the game is still on development so please excuse us for a very brief manual. 2. Controls - Arrow keys: Movement of the player - SHOT key (Z key): Shot - SPECIAL key (X key): Spell card (Limited in numbers) - TRANCE key (C key): Crossing towards the spiritual realm (explained in detail later) - SLOW key (Shift key): Reduced movement - PAUSE key (Esc key): Pause the game 3. Game screen - Player: The amount of player can 'miss' and still play on. (Translator's note: 'miss' refers to getting hit by a bullet) --(fragments) Collecting 10 fragments will increase your player life by one. - Spell card:The amount of spell card you can use. --(fragments) Collecting 10 fragments will increase the count of card by one. - Spiritual power - The power of your shot - Maximum scorepoints - The maximum points you can earn from a point item. - Graze: The number of times you near-dodged the enemy bullet. - Spiritual Realm Gauge -- This is a skull and spirit-shaped gauge located at the bottom-left of the screen. If you 'miss' while having more than one gauge filled, you will enter the spiritual realm. (To be continued on the next part) 4. Let's head towards the spiritual realm! Spiritual realm is a fantastic world that people witness right before they die. In this world, you are impervious to enemy bullets, and can offer maximum attack while invincible. Also, it amplifies the divine spirits. In order to enter the spiritual realm, you 'miss' while the gauge with at least 1 bar filled. However, once the gauge runs out, your life is lost. You cannot stop in between either. From the grip of death, no one can escape. Also, if your gauge is filled to the max, you can hit the TRANCE button to enter the spiritual realm at your will. Only at this time, you do not die even if the gauge runs out to 0. So, even if you 'miss', do not give up! It's time to counter with the last of your dying breath! At least you can make it a draw! 5. Item P - Spiritual Power upgrade item This is dropped in bundles. 点 - Point item You earn more as you approach more towards the top of the screen. * Moving your character to the top of the screen can allow you to auto-collect the items. Small Divine Spirits (小神霊) Defeating the enemy can drop an item that looks like a spirit. This is called 'small divine spirit', and can be collected if you go near it. * You cannot auto-collect them. 6. Small divine spirits Defeating the enemy can drop an item that looks like a spirit. This is called 'small divine spirit', and you can collect them like an item. There are total 4 kinds of them. Common property: Collecting the spirits can refill your spiritual realm gauge. While in the spiritual realm, because the divine spirits are amplified, the effect becomes amplified as well. Blue divine spirit (The desire of being rich): This increases the maximum scorepoints achievable of the point items. How to make it appear: Defeat an enemy Damage the boss while being near it. Purple divine spirit (The desire of well being): This increases the fragment of your life. How to make it appear: Specific enemies drop them. Green divine spirit (The desire of bomb): This increases the fragment of your bomb. How to make it appear: Specific enemies drop them. White divine spirit (The desire of remaining in the living world): This increases the gauge a bit more than the usual amount. How to make it appear: Appears when blue divine spirits are dropped in succession and in large quantities.
