Outline
An action game in which small soldiers commanded by the player seize upon the gigantic battleships assailing the city, and slash them to pieces. This idea of demolishing the battleships (featuring a variety of ominous forms and gigantic size) with saws and other weapons rather than firing at them gives rise to never-before-experienced thrills and a puzzle-based game experience. The other special characteristic of the game is its graphics worldview, which brings to mind folk tales and picture books.
