11 itemsAbout the Game
Agent, we have an emergency.
The enemy has activated the launch codes for a massive EMP weapon. Your orders are to gather the abort codes that are scattered throughout each of the enemy’s bases.
This will be a solo infiltration mission. Good luck.
Battle it out as a special agent disguised as a high school girl in this top-down shooter.
A variety of terrain types and enemies await you in each stage, called layers.
You will need lightning-fast reflexes and sound judgement to come up with the best solutions.
We’ll supply you with the necessary tools when you sneak in.
It’s up to you to make the most of them.
--Reverse Polarity--
When used, you will reverse the polarity of all bullets around you while reflecting nearby bullets.
This is the key to getting out of tricky situations, so use it wisely.
--Throw--
Lets you throw objects, kind of like telekinesis.
Use it to attack or take cover.
--Slide Dash--
Lets you dodge through enemy bullets at high speed.
This is a fantastic ability for both offense and defense, so make sure to time it right.
------Other Features------
Fashion
It's pretty bold of ya to be worrying about bling, when you should be focusing on blasting your enemies.
Alright, I'll let ya at 'em if you can prove your worth.
New Weapons
Weapons are, of course, a vital part of executing strategies.
When attempting a new layer, try testing out the provided weapons.
Additional Challenges
In Two-Shot and One-Shot modes, a single mistake can be fatal.
But if you can make it through these, then you must be the real McCoy. We have high hopes for you, kid.
