About the Game

Story

Fed up with unavoidable double ads before videos, the protagonist decides to enter a bullet-hell shooter game (shmup) where shooting down ads is the goal. Completing all stages promises an ad-free experience for a while, but is it really that simple?

Bosses are Advertisers from Fictional Companies

Bosses attack using their company products as bullet-hell advertisements.

Note: Objects resembling hamburgers, cars, and realtors are advertisements and not actual food, vehicles, or people.

Full Japanese Voice Acting

Voice Cast:

Kyōhei Natsume / Haruki Asada / Yūki Amezawa / Daisuke Hirakawa / Masahiro Yamanaka

Note: The English version will include Japanese audio with English subtitles.

Beginner-Friendly Bullet-hell

Recommended even for those who usually don't play bullet-hell.

An Easy mode is available, and you can also increase the number of continues from the settings menu.

The protagonist's life is based on an HP gauge, so you can take more hits than it seems.

Original Soundtrack

Every stage and boss comes with its own custom-composed theme.

With ever-changing vibes, there’s never a dull moment.

All 7 Stages

Main Game: 6 stages × 3 difficulty levels

Extra Stage: 1 stage × 6 variations (with unique dialogues and ending illustrations)

Ads Aren't the Enemy

Defeating bosses earns you skills that can be used in subsequent stages.

Not shooting down ads — pausing your shots — can also prove beneficial.

Score Attack

Global score rankings are categorized by difficulty level. Advanced shooters, aim for the world's top score in Hard mode.

No In-Game Ads

No real ads are included in this game.

You’ll never be forced to watch one while playing—promise!
