Gameplay

Similar in genre to Taito's Qix, the goal is to cut the warship into pieces within the time limit displayed on the top part of the screen. Players can cut the warship by holding the circle button while moving. When a warship is cut from one side to the other, the smaller side of the cut falls off of it. This action is repeated until the warship becomes unable to move. (The percentage remaining is displayed in the upper left of the screen).

The timer temporarily stops according to the percentage of the warship that has been cut away. On the warship, there is a gray portion; this can only be destroyed using "mojo", which is gained by cutting off parts of the warship or by using items, to perform a mojo attack (which drains mojo), or by using a bomb in exchange for allies. Mojo attacks cause speed of movement to slow down, but once they are activated, they continue until the gauge runs out. Depending on the bomb item used, the direction of the blast changes.

Story

The story takes place in a world brimming with trees, where civilizations have been replaced time and time again, yet in an age where people have finally begun to live peacefully. People who dug up an ancient civilization's power plant settled near it and created a small town. At the same time, giant warships suddenly began to take movement in various places around the world. Although there is nobody on these warships, they fly as they wish, violently dropping missiles to the ground.

One day, one of these warships came to a town in which people lived. Lacking strong weaponry, the townspeople got onto the warships in order to fight. And so, the fight between the town and the warship continued for an outrageously long time.
