A weapon to surpass youkai... What is it?

Metal Bird of the Cucumber Base

Top-down stealth adventure with classic danmaku action

Hatate Himekaidou wakes up to do yet another article but notices something odd. The rumor has it that kappas are making some new tech thingies. Help out Hatate to investigate this potentially newsworthy issue!

Note: this (aka jam) version has only the first level (out of 3) and a boss available. The full story will be out in post-jam updates. Don't do overscoping kids

Also, the downloadable version is the one recommended to play.

Features

• Collect evidence as you want: sneak around enemies like a Spy, face danger head-on as needed like a Detective, or flash all potential suspects out with your camera like a proud Press enthusiast. Who knows where your style will take you? Nowhere really for the level 1 version, sorry
• Battle your battles like you always do: fight with all your tengu speed in classic danmaku duels! No bullet canceling this time, but a great reporter has to know how to earn the interview even in extreme conditions!
• "Hideout": a nice stealth opportunity or a dirty trick for battle? Both! Use the item to hide yourself from unwanted eyes or bullets!

Controls:

• LS or D-pad / Arrow keys: Move
• A / Z key: Interact/Shoot
• B / X key: Use Hideout (press in Stealth mode, hold in Danmaku mode)
• RB / Shift key: Focus
• Back / Tab key: Skip the dialogue
