Description official descriptions
This is mostly the parody of Gradius (Nemesis on some systems), with some flavor from other shoot-em-ups, like Twinbee. The series is available on numerous platforms.
The game is a right-to-left scrolling shoot-em-up. You can choose from 4 different flying creatures, with different weapons. You must finish 7 stages, each having a boss at the end. You may start at either one, but must complete every level to advance to the final stage.

Trivia
European version
There are a few changes in the European SNES version: * During the intro, a cigarette was removed * In the Japanese version, the clown enemies in stage two have a Christian cross. This was changed to a wind-up key. * A background picture of a naked woman in level three, a parody of The Birth of Venus, was removed. * The licking animations of the stage three bosses were removed. * The bunny costumes and ears of female enemies in stage seven were removed.
A detailed list of changes can be found on schnittberichte.com (German).
