The reason for this are unclear to her and she wan't to learn who is behinf this and break some bones.

Gameplay:
The Game is basically a Homage at the Mega Man series but with a small twist. Lilas Exo-suite has been damaged during her initial escape from the guardians of the high order. Due to this damage she can only shoot when jumping or stay in position.. In order to repair her suite and to get informations about who is behind all this she has to collect their logic units called "eBRAIN". Every dead opponent will drop one. The handicap will cause on ore two stressing situations and maybe you destroy an oponent above a hole.. If so you may need to digg further into the level and check where it has landed : )

Graphics:
The game reessambles the 8Bit style of MegaMan (NES/Famicom) but it features also some modern elements like parallax scrolling in chasing-levels.

Sound:
The Soundtrack comes from BMR (Blue Metal Rose). They have created MOD's from their Songs as like "Listening", "Run" and "Work in Progress" , incl. Vocals. Alle Einnahmen fließen in das nächste Spiele-Projekt namens "Oh no! More Aliens".
