The aim was to make players feel at ease using METBOY while placing weaker enemies throughout the screen.

The aim was to make players aware that horizontal and vertical lines are essential in the game.

The aim was to demonstrate scattered enemies becoming powerful in groups.

They run away fast, but they appear in the same spot, so it's easier to just wait for them to appear then attack them.

The artist drew rough sketches for each stage theme and then adjusted the balance, color, etc., from all the stages before finishing. The completed version has more pop and liveliness.

We hope everyone will enjoy replaying it without getting tired of it.
