Some games are wackier than others. Kyuiin falls into the weird and wonderful column. This horizontal shooter provides a vacuum cleaner as your vehicle. You can suck up bullets with your hose and whip enemies with your cord. Two players can team-up. A well-balanced scoring system gives added equilibrium. As a boy reads from his favorite fairy tale, a fairy appears from the book and requests his help against an evil wizard who has been tampering with the stories. When the fairy inquires about the method of travel, the innovative lad looks around the room, and notices a handy vacuum cleaner. In a whirl, he's off on his new flying vacuum sucking in evil! Graphically, all the enemies, bullets, explosions are beautifully designed sprites, which constantly scale, rotate and pulsate. The game has a very lively feel. Please note: this game is a direct Japanese import. Although text is limited, the language is Japanese. Help can be found at www.monkeypawgames.com
