What is Eto-Bashiri? A game where you blast all the enemies away using Eto to accumulate even more virtue! Note: Enemies are the embodiment of misfortune, so defeating them lets you gain virtue. The Controls The gameplay is simple—just trace your finger on your smartphone screen! When you trace on the screen, you create a “cloud that only Eto can pass through.” Guide Eto along this cloud to reach the enemies. How Do You Blast Them? When Eto collides with an enemy, everything gets blasted away. How Does the Game End? During the game, a cheering squad is watching over Eto to support him. If you miss an enemy by failing to collide with it, one member of the cheering squad gets attacked. Once all of them are gone, the game is over! Alternatively—and this is quite challenging—if you manage to run for 12 years, you’ll reach the goal! What’s Along the Way? Throughout the path, you’ll encounter a wide variety of enemies and “calamity balls” with unique characteristics. There are also numerous traps set up to hinder Eto’s run, making it far from easy. However, not only do enemies and traps appear—the game also offers a diverse range of tools to help Eto in his run!
