This is a very unique game. Level design is good, the boss battles are unique (though most have a \"Sweet Spot\" where you can just sit and blast away). The only thing about this game is that it lacks variety. I think that this would have made a great candidate for a SCD updated sequel...Hey Mind Rec...you out there...:-)

I really enjoyed this title. A very unique system in which you control what looks like a slinky that shoots from it's sides. This leads to very cool level designs that utilize the control scheme well. There are a variety of power-ups and the bosses while some have easy enough patterns etc, some are very challenging. The overall theme is a zodiac based idea where the bosses are a scorpion, centaur, crab, etc. Unfortunately like a number of games from this era the last level is going through and beating all 12 bosses in a row. I personally dislike that a lot which is what brings the score down a bit for me.

Unique enough to give it a chance- but pretty boring.

Cheat Codes (4)

SOMER ASSAULT
Warp to Final Boss	At the "Input your birthday" screen, hold Down and I and press RUN to warp to the final battle.
Sound Test and hidden Games	At the "Input you birthday" screen, hold Up and I and tap the run button. You'll enter a sound test menu with multicolored Japanese text; this allows you to sample the music and sound effects from the game. At the "sound test" menu, press SELECT, Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, II, I. You'll enter a bizarre screen that flashes the color red, and you can alter the brightness and flashing rate by pressing the SELECT button to switch between the two. At the flashing red screen, press II, Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, II, I. This puts you into a shootem-up game. Move with you control pad, and button II-shoots, and button I-releases a smart bomb.
Black & White Mode	Start the first stage in Somer Assault and press SELECT 15 times while the game is in progress. Next, press RUN to pause, then hold I and press Up to change to "black & white" mode. Repeat the procedure to change back to color mode.
Infinite 1-UPs	At any point during the action, pause and unpause 100 times. Once you've done that, you'll find that every enemy you shoot for the rest of the game will turn into a 1-Up icon.
