Vertical shoot'em up inspired in old school classics, presenting an innovative four-color polarity system with a fresh approach to puzzles and taking clever decissions.

Year 2306. A century after the Nyagu taught mankind how to obtain electricity from their inner energy, enterprises started to exploit humans in farms to produce energy.

Only when his mother dies in one of these farms Iro realizes he has got the power to change the order of things.
