A decent port so far of a good brick breaker type game except the game's all in Japanese with no way to change it from what I've tried despite the store page showing English text. I'll recommend this game if they fix this.

Update: I found a way to change the language, I'll copy-paste it here:
Here's how to change it to English (assuming you're using a controller):
Start the game then when the title screen appears, press Start.
Go to the 3rd option down (Game Settings). Press A.
Go to the 6th option down (Language-2 kanji characters on the left). Press Right ONCE. Go down to the bottom option (Back) and press A to go back. A second prompt will appear. Press A. This will save your changes. You will return to the title screen.
Press Start again. If done correctly, the menus and text will now be in English.

I still would not recommend this until they fix this

2/15/21 Edit: An update dropped today that seems to have fixed most of the issues, including the bug where the game crashed when trying to exit the Game Settings menu after making changes. This has greatly improved my experience. So despite there still being no way to exit the game without using Alt+F4 yet, I am now changing my rating and giving it a thumbs up as I can now recommend buying this.

First up, there IS a way to change the text from Japanese to English-pause the game to go to Options, select the 3rd option down, then select the 6th option down and press Right ONCE. Select the last option on screen and press A twice.

As for the game itself, this is a block-breaker-style game featuring Psikyo characters, mostly from the "Gunbird" series as powerups and NPCs. You can choose to play as Marion, a heroine of the Gunbird games or a male character.
While the game itself is simple, fun and challenging, there are major bugs that will cause a lot of problems-the biggest one is that, except for language, if you change any Game Settings and try to return to the game the proper way so everything is applied, the game instantly crashes. So you can only play on the default game settings.

I really hate to give this a thumbs down because I love all the games this developer has ported to Steam so far, but until the above settings bug is fixed (among other things) do not buy this game. It's playable but you won't get the ideal experience. Just wishlist/follow for now and monitor for updates and bug fixes, then when this is hopefully fixed I will change my recommendation to buy.

Port of an arcade game from PSIKYO and the graphics are bright and sound is good.

Fan of the game, once past the language adjustment, a very satisfactory breakout game.

You can sometimes hit it with the player rep behind the paddle/flippers.

Separate Music and SFX volume controls are present!

Does Worlds (with bosses) - Sections, with varied background environments
Not all brick busting either:
First boss is a teddy bear and no hints, but wasn't too tough.

I don't know the game well enough to make critical compares but as a Breakout game fan enjoyed!
I used a controller, it does NOT allow mouse side to side, that I would like fixed, but was smooth like butter with a thumb stick on my controller. (8bitdoo SN30 Pro is what I use)

Has Settings outside running the game, but can check a box to not offer the choice anymore.

A somewhat lousy presentation of a really fun unique game, I'm still giving this a thumbs up because the game is very enjoyable but there are a lot of asterisks to be aware of.

MOST IMPORTANTLY if you have a high refresh rate monitor, you must lock the game's framerate to 60 in Nvidia control panel (or whatever the AMD equivalent is). I started playing and thought "this is kinda neat but the controls are way too sensitive" until I realized that input polling seemed to be tied to framerate. I have a 144hz monitor and just tapping the analogue stick shot my character way to the side. Once I locked the game to 60 it played how it should.

Beyond that the visual presentation is a mushy mess. It seems like different sprites use different scaling methods. Your character, some of the icons, and the witch lady who helps you out seem to use that horrible "smooth filter" that started appearing in retro collections around the time of the XBOX 360 Sega Genesis collection, the blocks you're supposed to break and some enemies seem to use bilinear scaling, but other bosses, enemies and projectiles look like they're using proper nearest neighbour scaling (which is my preferred type of scaling). This results in the visuals being an inconsistant mess and I really just wish the whole thing let you choose nearest neighbor (display caps out at 1080p as well which probably doesn't help). I watched some footage of the Arcade version and it doesn't seem to have these inconsistencies.

The configuration menu you can launch outside of the game doesn't really seem to do much either. I set the game to "fullscreen" but it launches windowed every time so I have to hit alt enter to fullscreen it.

I could also say how the game launches in Japanese but honestly that's the least of this port's problems. I'm gonna try and take the JLPT this year so it's reading practice.

That said, once you get the framerate under control, this is an incredibly fun mashup of shoot-em-ups, breakout, and pinball. The basic formula is Breakout/Arkanoid but you have pinball flippers to give your ball some extra "oomph". You can use the flippers to send back bullets which also helps getting pesky blocks that are hard to reach and the game has a satisfying, punchy feel. I've only played a few rounds, but it's addictive and I could see myself putting a lot of time into this. The music is nice and while I hate how butchered the sprite art is the colors and characters are very appealing.

So overall the porting job is pretty bad but the game itself is a lot of fun once you at least get the framerate dealt with. I woudl love to see an update that fixes the issue or for this game to be included in a more proper arcade compilation but it's still enjoyable even with this release's issues.

(oh and as far as I can tell the only way to close the game is Alt-F4 unless there's something I'm missing)
