Gameplay

While blasting enemies, Yūichirō 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, Yūichirō 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 Yūichirō and Sunday, but they can either earn or buy extra lives. This game also features voice samples (in Japanese).

Ordyne

Ordyne is a horizontal scrolling shooter arcade game that was released by Namco in 1988 only in Japan. It runs on Namco System 2 hardware.

The players must take control of genius scientist Yuichiro Tomari and his assistant Sunday Chin as they attempt to rescue Tomari's fiancee, Kana Aibara, from the evil Dr. Kubota. The enemies all move in preset patterns so as not to make the game confusing, and killing a group of them causes crystals to appear that can be collected and exchanged for special weapons, extra lives or even more crystals at Miyuki Chan's flying store and with Dream Co., Ltd., the flying robot with a rotating target.
