Overview

Ride or drive the turbulent waves of luck toward victory!

A novel rogue-lite vertical scrolling Shmup that puts your resourcefulness to the test!

Story

The year is 2050 AD.

In a far flung corner of the galaxy, an area known as the Sepulch Space Archipelago is attacked by an infamous band of raiders known as the “Randomax Pirates”! These nefarious marauders quickly subjugate the peaceful islands, transforming the region into a sea of evil villainy.

Amid such turmoils, three women of exceedingly bold personalities appear on the scene determined to venture into these dangerous waters, along with a mysterious shipping company known as “ARGO EXPRESS”! Erika, a self proclaimed employee of this company offers them a proposal...

"We'll give you our stock of misdelivered weapons and ammo. Wanna use it to take out the bad guys?”

And so a chaotic battle fueled by a vast stockpile of mismatched weapons quickly ensues!
