THE GIRL FROM GUNMA Kai  群馬県から来た少女・改
This game is a retro-style 2D side-scrolling shooting game. Easy one-button operation. It is expressed with graphics and sounds (MSX) typical of the Japanese 80's. The overall structure is psychedelic and crazy, but that's the kind of game it is, so don't worry about it.

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We opted for an Early Access release for THE GIRL FROM GUNMA KAI to collaborate with the community and refine the game together. The game is playable in its core form but not yet complete. Through Early Access, we aim to gather valuable player feedback to ensure the game meets players’ expectations.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“THE GIRL FROM GUNMA KAI is planned to stay in Early Access for approximately three months. During this period, we’ll incorporate community feedback, make necessary improvements, and work toward the final release. However, this is an estimate, and we’ll keep the community updated on progress.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version of THE GIRL FROM GUNMA KAI is planned to be a more polished version of the Early Access build. This is just a plan. We will outline the features and content we intend to add. We believe the current game lacks elements such as selectable player ships, additional endings, extra stages, and changes to clear conditions. We are constantly thinking about these improvements. However, these are merely plans. We make no specific promises about future developments. There is no guaranteed information regarding the game’s completion timeline, its final release, or whether planned additional features will definitely be implemented. We do not encourage customers to bet on the game’s future. We feel that customers should purchase the game based on its current state, not on uncertain future promises.We wish you peace and good fortune in your daily life.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version of THE GIRL FROM GUNMA KAI is a build that provides the basic gameplay experience. Various conditions have been set for fully clearing the game, but we are open to reviewing their appropriateness based on your feedback. If all features listed in the “About This” section are already implemented, please refer to that section for details. We encourage you to check the “About This” section. What can purchased users access today? Modes, features, levels, and other important details are specifically outlined there. We’ll also excerpt them here: The game includes 8 stages, with 3 hidden stages. The only attack method is shooting; there are no bombs, saves, or achievements, as they are deemed unnecessary. This section should be updated every few weeks or months as development progresses, and we plan to do so. This, too, is just a plan.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We are committed to offering fair pricing for THE GIRL FROM GUNMA KAI. To reflect improvements and enhancements made during Early Access, we may slightly increase the price upon full release. Any price changes will be carefully considered to ensure value for all players and clearly communicated to the community in advance.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We warmly welcome the community’s input to help refine THE GIRL FROM GUNMA KAI. Your feedback is invaluable and will directly contribute to improving the game, so please share your thoughts.
Through Early Access, we aim to gather player feedback and shape THE GIRL FROM GUNMA KAI into its final form. We’re excited to create a final release that everyone can enjoy.”

About This Game

It's a pseudo-retro 2D side-scrolling shooter with a variety of gameplay in 8 stages, with visuals (TMS9918A spec V9938 palette) and sound (PSG+SCC) enhanced to mimic the MSX standard popular in Japan in the 1980s. Formerly released for smartphones in 2014 and then passed through Steam Greenlight, the release was delayed for about 10 years due to the production company's busy schedule (Final Re:Quest The Movie). The overall volume of the game has been increased to compensate for this. The controls are very simple and familiar. The player controls a cute little girl with dots, and defeats various enemies with a series of automatic shots. The game is inspired by good old Japanese culture, Gunma's nature and customs, in the 80's style, and the ending may change some by discovering various hidden items in the stage. We aimed to create a simple and kitschy shooting game before the bullet-hell shooters. We hope you will enjoy this game if you are tired of complicated modern games.

For those of you who want a more detailed description, let me add an even more special description! There are a generous 5 aircraft, 2 barriers to withstand enemy bullets, and 5 continues available! Basically, there are 8 stages in total, but there are 3 hidden stages. It may seem like an easy game, but the conditions for the appearance of the third stage are so strict that an ordinary person will not be able to clear it. The only method of attack is shot. There are no soft elements such as bombers. What's more, there are no saves and no achievements. Aren't you tired of competing for watered-down achievements by now? Rest assured that this game does not have them from the start.
