Personal review

In this game you play a girl at some kind of theater on a stage. The game has 12 acts. In each of these acts you have to fight enemies with several kicks and jumpkicks. After some time one or two bosses appear which you have to beat in order to reach the next act. When you collect enough "Wonder" power from standard enemies you are able to change into "Wonder Momo". With the new suit and helmet you wear, you can absorb shots and hit harder. I personally found the gameplay much too hectic. Enemies appear too suddenly and the controls didn't feel responsive enough. The graphics are average, the background graphics are very plain (maybe to look like a stage design). Graphics with better quality can only be found in the few cutscenes which appear after a couple of acts. Well, maybe people that have a soft spot for girls in mini-skirts and panty-shots might actually like this game though.
