[edit] Gameplay
While blasting bad guys, Yûichirô and Sunday can pick up crystals that can be used to buy special weapons, extra lives, etc. Miyuki Chan's shop passes by at certain points in each level. When Dream Co., Ltd. passes by, Yûichirô and Sunday can win a load of crystals or a special weapon by shooting at his rotating target. The standard shoot-em-up rules apply. Advance through a scrolling level and then meet up with a big boss, indicated by a change in music. One hit will kill Yûichirô and Sunday, but they can either earn or buy extra lives. This game also features voice samples (in Japanese).
