About
This game was made in Pixel Game Maker MV and runs at 30 FPS. Game language, screen size, screen shake, and key config settings can be accessed by pressing the F1 key on your keyboard. Other settings can be changed in the OPTIONS menu in-game.
Welcome to Nitro City, Tokyo Special Administrative Region! The metropolis of Tokyo is a bit different from what we know, but the streets are just as nostalgic, or, depending on where you're from, they're just as good as the place you've always wanted to visit.
Autonomous drones, affectionately called "Companions", have been integrated into daily life, but in cop terms, they're referred to as "Atypical Vehicles".
When they pose a significant threat to society, it's time for the Atypical Vehicle Disposal Squad (AVDS)—a special unit of the Nitro City police force—to commence their mission to destroy all rogue vehicles!
Good news: you can bring as much ammo as you want... and that includes grenades!
After just a little bit of cooldown, the lightning bolt of destruction will return to your hands. Ah, how wonderful! Just like magic!
Tired of traditional grenades? Why not try out the EMP, damage-dealing radio-controlled drones, auto-firing turrets, flamethrowers, anti-tank missiles, and more? There's sure to be at least one out of the 12 different cool gadgets that'll catch your eye.
By assuming a more stable shooting position, your bullets will hit targets more accurately and deal more damage.
You can shoot some guns like SMGs while walking without caring about that, since they're for close-range anyway, but the bigger the gun, the more it's affected by your positioning. Stand still and aim carefully to use them properly.
Oh no! We're under attack by tanks and helicopters! Whatever can we do~?!
Rifles and SMGs don't do much to armored targets. You could totally stick with them and show them your perseverance, but you could hit them harder where it hurts with more powerful firearms and gadgets.
Story dialogue in stages are all contained in the police radio comms, which can be accessed at anytime and are completely optional. Which means you can ignore them completely if you want.
Great for multiple playthroughs, or for people who think the story sections of video games are basically the same as the instruction manual of an electric toothbrush.
There's more fun where that came from!

Side scrolling shooter that gives a whiff of Metal Slug, Contra and old 2D shooters from the 90s. It is however coated in a cool and modern stylized indie anime vaneeer and an urban setting. I came for the art and stayed for the art. The controls are finnicky which makes for a somewhat jittery and messy gameplay experience when there is a lot of enemies on screen.
虽然游戏很低帧,左右切视角的时候也很难受,但一旦接受了这种略微滞后的操作反馈以后,游戏就变得很好玩了! 各种关卡需要你根据枪械特性来搭配, 不使用合适的枪械和副手那是真的很难过关(曾经拿冲锋枪和阔剑硬刚坦克的人此时猛猛点头);每一关也各自需要各自的打法,比如有一撤离关,一直在那不停打小飞棍,那你得到的也是越来越多的小飞棍,甚至打得时间太久还会出现红色高级小飞棍,边打边撤才是该做的(评论区有一老哥被小飞棍折磨半死,希望他能看到...). 主角和辅助的动画做的很上心,细节很多,画风绝对是一大亮点,再加上那种复古街机的手感,只能说瑕不掩瑜,值得一试!
I really liked it nice little run and gun
divertido el juego, me recordo a metal slug, le faltan cosas que mejorar, espero que en nuevas actualizaciones agreguen mas cosas
Short and Funny Twin Stick shooter with a 90's/ Late 80's Japanese Action Humor 10/10 highly recommend super fun and short
An excellent game for the Steam Deck. Gameplay is split up into short chapters with main story and side missions, each somewhere in the 5 to 10 minute range. Completing all the content took me about six hours. It will go by fast if you play in one sitting. It's best played in small bursts on a lunch break or waiting for laundry/dinner/whatever to finish.
