About this game
Miria enters Naju to trigger its destruction before it reaches Earth. Her form changes with the setting: she explores the outer labyrinth on foot and becomes a fighter inside its corridors. Search rooms for information, equipment and entrances, then face corridor bosses to obtain keys or activate the destruction mechanism. Keys open more of the labyrinth. Normal fire and optional weapons use separate commands, while the sub-screen helps locate the current position. Exploration and flight combat contribute to the same expanding mission.

Exploration and shooting share a concrete progression loop.
Finding an entrance gives exploration a combat destination. Boss rewards can then open another section of the labyrinth.
Strengths
- The two forms give searching and combat distinct roles.
Who it is for: Players interested in map exploration alongside flight shooting.
