About:
Draw a line through a live puzzle of falling letters, complete wave after wave, and avoid colliding with the boss. With each wave you survive, you’ll unlock capsules containing mysterious lion-dogs called Mainus—but don’t get comfortable. Reaching wave 100 is impossible. Each Mainu is tied to one of six elements: Fire, Water, Lightning, Ice, Wind, or Wood. Build a powerful chip deck from your collected Mainus and challenge bosses in tactical battles where smart timing and elemental advantages are key.
Story:
Tonu, like any other high schooler, has a dream to be an artist — but lately, he has stopped practicing his drawings and stopped believing in himself. One night, while sleeping, he meets a yokai named Ormatsu, the ruler of a realm called Ginga. To keep the realm alive, Ormatsu traps the dreams of people who give up and transforms their souls into dog-like creatures called Mainus. There is only one way to escape this world: solve the Ormatsu Puzzle and defeat him. Ormatsu gives each dreamer a chance to escape by collecting all the Mainus and mastering six elemental powers — Fire, Lightning, Water, Wood, Ice, and Wind — to defeat the fifteen rulers of the realm. Tonu has just eight hours in this dream state to complete the challenge, or he will be trapped in Ginga forever. Help Tonu defeat Ormatsu and reclaim his future.
