About The Game
Supervised by Takahashi Meijin! ! This new Shmup with its unique rapid fire system will blow you away! !
Star Gagnant is a vertical scrolling Shmup supervised by Takahashi Meijin.
Unique rapid fire system
Implemented a unique rapid fire system that uses the SPECIAL gauge and changes attack power with your rapid fire speed.
This system was created through discussion between developer Terarin and supervisor Takahashi Meijin.
The point of strategy is to select an appropriate rapid fire speed according to the situation and manage the SPECIAL gauge.
Various graphics and enemy character designs
Graphic designer Tenmaru created beautiful pixel graphics.
Some unique enemies created from user ideas through crowdfunding will also appear.
By switching in the option menu, you can also enjoy a slightly different "retro graphic" mode.
ARCADE MODE
In arcade mode, you will clear seven stages along the story.
The mission will be completed when you clear all the stages. There are 4 levels of difficulty.
CARAVAN MODE
In caravan mode, compete for high scores on a dedicated stage for only 2 minutes.
CHALLENGE MODE
In challenge mode, your control skills will be evaluated in each challenge, and your overall rank will be displayed at the end.
You will be able to objectively evaluate your control skills and use them as opportunities for improvement.
In arcade mode, caravan mode and challenge mode, supports local ranking and online ranking.
RAPID FIRE MODE
In rapid fire mode, simply compete for rapid fire speed.
Up to 4 players can play local matches.
Great original music
Includes two versions: the original version by HIROKKEY and the chiptune arrangement version by Taku Shiiba.
You can switch the music version in the option menu.
And in caravan mode and challenge mode, Takeaki "KINOKO" Kunimoto created the music.
He has created music for many classic games in the past.
These music made this game more attractive.
Character voice
In arcade mode, character voices are implemented in conversation scenes.
This creates a realistic scene.
*Notice
In the trial version, only tutorial and arcade mode up to Stage 2 can be played.
In the trial version, switching to "Retro Graphic" is not possible.
