Reception

Шаблон:Video game reviews Multiple reviewers noted the game was similar to games such as Parodius and TwinBee.[2][3]

Gamepro previewed the game, and remarked that it looked like "a toy store gone mad", but despite the appearances the game was quite hard.[4] EGM previewed the game and called it a very original title, and called the protagonist a "flying ping pong ball with wings."[5] GameFan praised the game, and recommended to import it as it was unlikely to ever be released outside of Japan. They said that it was intermediately difficult, and perfect for children as they can get a game that's fun without excessive violence.[2]

Famitsu gave it a score of 25 out of 40 upon release.[1] Games Master said the game was "a vertical blast of fun" but hard to take seriously due to the setting and characters. They ended the review by calling the game "run of the mill" while giving it a 68% score.[6]

Super Play gave the game a score of 68%, saying "An average shoot em up with study gameplay and a sense of humor, but hardly a must buy." The reviewer recommended the game only to those serious fans of the genre, and those who liked TwinBee games.[3] Italian game magazine Game Power gave the game a score of 82%.[7] French magazine Joypad gave it 81%.[8]

Super Pro gave it 65 out of 100 score, saying "Imaginative graphics, okay sound and all in all fairly playable, with plenty of mega-guardians. some of the baddies are pretty good".[9]
