Gameplay
Fly around enemies and terrain while firing at approaching creatures. Your basic shot can be charged for a stronger attack, and collected power-ups expand the available firepower. Moving higher or lower changes the enemies and items you encounter, making position a route choice as well as a way to dodge. Hidden encounters lead to bonus areas tied to recovering pieces of a broken seal. Searching for these secrets adds another objective alongside reaching the end of a stage. Scroll pickups can increase the tengu’s health capacity, giving survival a gradual development of its own. Bosses punctuate the journey and require you to keep firing while reading their attack patterns. The game combines straightforward shooting with enough vertical movement and concealed opportunities to reward careful observation of the scenery. Clearing the route and uncovering its secrets are closely connected.
