About this game

SASA’s plasma gun is both a weapon and a way to move through the air. The aim is to remove every energy pack from the stage: collecting packs replenishes energy, though shooting them away also allows the stage to advance. Movement changes between gravity, buoyancy and weightless environments. In simultaneous two-player play, NANA joins SASA and the partners can transfer energy, allowing one to help sustain the other.
