Thank you for waiting Potato Chips Fans All Over The World! In the year 2024, the amount of wheat brought by cargo ships from abroad in Japan has decreased dramatically and potatoes have become very important, so play this game and pray together with everyone for a good potato harvest. - The effects of this game app. 1) Huge harvest of Potatoes!? 2) Huge harvest of the 5 grains!? 3) It will weather suitable for agriculture throughout the year!? 4) May the world be at peace! Peace Prayer Effect!? NOTICE! : Effectiveness varies from person to person and may not work at all. Please note in advance. +--------------------------------------+ - How to playing and rules. For the game playing method, please refer to the 4th piece of screenshot. The purpose of this game is to hit only "True Potato" with a hammer within the time limit. Three other different games can be played. The game is stage-based, with stages where you can play different games. By the way, to complete stage 1, you need to score 1500 points. Good luck! - About error messages in Japanese. If you perform an incorrect operation during game play, a Japanese error message will be displayed. Will explain those messages. Error message 1 : "イモは「なぐる」" The meaning of this message is 'Please press "Hit." button'. It is an error message you get when you accidentally press the "Next!" button. Error message 2 : "イモ以外は「つぎ!」" The meaning of this message is 'Please press "Next!" button'. It is an error message when you mistakenly hit "Other Than Potatoes" with a hammer. Error message 3 : "ハンマー暴走中!" The meaning of this message is 'Hammer is uncontrollable!'. This error message is displayed when you hit the "なぐる(Hit.)" button repeatedly over and over. - Tips for the game app. When hitting "殴る(Hit.)" button repeatedly, the hammer tries to keep moving by inertia, but it is impossible for the hammer to punching behavior more than the number of times you pressed "殴る(Hit.)" button. Pressing "殴る(Hit.)" button produces a sound effect as if you hit a metal, but if you use that sound to count how many times you press "殴る(Hit.)" button, you can play this game more advantageously. Description of the game play and rules, this is the end. Then please enjoy the game!! +--------------------------------------+ - Disclaimer.

A retro '90s-style vertical bullet-hell shooter you can play with one finger — free, and fully playable offline. Weave through walls of bullets across 3 stages and massive boss battles. Skim past enemy fire to "graze" for score and bomb gauge, and turn the tables with screen-clearing bombs. Clear everything, and a hidden true battle awaits. ◆ Features - Intuitive controls: drag to move, auto-fire, double-tap to bomb — one-handed play - Graze system: near-misses are the path to high scores - 3 stages + more: unique midbosses, bosses, and a hidden final boss - Achievements & rankings: 14 achievements and global rankings (with per-language boards) - Difficulty options: EASY / NORMAL / HARD - 17 languages supported, works offline ◆ How to Play 1. Drag to move (your ship fires automatically) 2. Double-tap to trigger a bomb (clears enemy bullets) 3. Graze enemy bullets for bonus score 4. Watch a short video to revive after game over and push on for the clear Note: This game contains flashing lights. Player discretion is advised for those with photosensitivity. ◆ Made for players who enjoy - A retro arcade shooter, pixel art, neon lights, and a tense trip through space - A quick game during a break, or a longer high-score and score-attack session at home - Learning to dodge patterns with one hand in portrait mode instead of aiming every shot - Starting on EASY, settling into NORMAL, then taking on the hardcore density of HARD ◆ A score run with choices NOVA STRIKER is a danmaku-style shmup where reading a pattern matters as much as reflexes. Your ship fires on its own, leaving you free to steer through the gaps. A close dodge earns graze and fills the bomb gauge, so a daring line can be worth more than a safe one. Spend a bomb to clear a crowded screen, or save it for a boss phase: each run is a chance to refine that decision. ◆ Reasons to return The three stages are built around distinct enemy waves, midbosses, and boss battles, culminating in the hidden final boss. Choose the pace that suits you: EASY introduces the flow, NORMAL rewards consistency, and HARD asks for careful routing through thicker bullet patterns. Chase all 14 achievements, improve your high-score, and compare results on global leaderboards with separate boards by language. ◆ Play on your terms This is a free single-player action game for portrait smartphones, designed for a few spare minutes or repeated practice. It works offline, so a connection is not required to fly and dodge. A rewarded video is offered only when you choose to revive after game over; there are no forced ads interrupting play. With drag movement, auto-fire, and a double-tap bomb, it stays focused on the arcade rhythm. Price: Free to play, with one optional one-time purchase (rewarded ads only — no forced ads) Supports: Smartphones (portrait)
