Dezatopia

Dezatopia is a shoot-'em-up about two high school students trying to stop Momoko, their fashion-obsessed schoolmate, from joining the civilizations above and below ground into a new world. Strange creatures have lived beneath Earth’s surface unknown to humankind, until Momoko discovers them and joins forces with them. Akane and Aoba were hired to help build a towering underground bridge, but turn against Momoko’s plans and take on her loyal beasts in the Speleological Fighter Pink Aurora.

Fight through the underground

You control the Pink Aurora, which has four weapons for attacking enemies from different directions. During flight, you can buy upgrades and items from a shop without pausing the action. A dynamic difficulty system adjusts to your skill across 1,000 difficulty ranks, testing your strategy, technique and luck.

The 24 stages contain varied gimmicks and end with bosses piloting large machines. The stages are arranged across 21 predetermined routes, giving you different paths to replay. You can also find hidden items in each stage to unlock music for the sound test, character backstories and other bonuses.

Characters and presentation

The story follows three human high school students and the unusual creatures from underground, whose goals and reasons for fighting shape the conflict between the two worlds. Pixel-art backgrounds and smooth animation depict the underground, accompanied by more than 40 original FM-synth tracks by HEY.
