『Crow Highly, Towards the unattainable dream far away in the sky.』

Q:Why free?

A:Reason 1:How are the children gonna afford my games if it isn't free?

You see all those wonderful flash games out there?

They are all [free].

So I guess I will make all my games in the future [free] too.

A 2D runner shmup(shoot-em up) where you may or may not save a nation by beating a game.

Shoot and dodge bullets while you keep running and jumping!

Enjoy a slice of life(?) story where you play the game made by Cci while Ayry and Cci banter with each other (and talk about the world of Nosolute and game development)!

In other words, it's a game about game-dev made by the in-game character in game who banters about the game with another in-game character, while you also play/experience the game the in-game character made!

玄之又玄, it's pretty meta.

((Warning: Game contains flashy RGB bullets that may be harmful to players with photosensitive epilepsy or similar condition.))

The guardian of the nation has went missing again from work!

And its up to Ayry to get the guardian(CcI) back to the work office

The funny thing is, I never intended my first game to be a shmup(or at least half of it).Whenever a major turn-point happens in my life,it is always involved with a shoot-em-up game.If fate truly does exist,then this must be it.

Life is truly miserable and wonderful,isn't it?
