Twitter Roundup 8/20

Some of these games don't get picked up by blogs in Japan. Well, they're on Twitter, you just need to know where to look!


iOS / Android

[Shooting] Enemy Snatcher
App Store description (translated):
Don't take down your enemies, just take them!
You're the next Enemy Snatcher.
Enemy Snatcher: the third installment from Tsuchigoe Games.
A simple shooting game where the goal is not to defeat enemies but to snatch them.
Enemies that have been hit become "snatchable", at which point you can capture, or "snatch", them.
You can make longer combos by snatching many enemies in a row.
Try to get a high score by making long combos!
I'm really terrible at any shooting games. We'll see how this one goes, but I don't know if I can handle the extra challenge of picking up the enemies, too! Anyway, it's in English so the language shouldn't be an issue.

[Puzzle/Action]  Circles and Triangles
App Store description (translated):
Oh my, the main character's girl has been kidnapped by the enemy. Let's go save her, shall we?
How to Play
The main character is a wimp.
He'll be taken by the enemy once he's discovered.
He has to sneak to the goal.
Enemies' Weak Points
The enemy can only see in front of them.
As long as you're not right in front of them, you won't be discovered.
Also, they're extremely dense.
You can push them from behind.
Just try not to get caught.
Levels
There are many kinds of enemies and levels. You'll even see giant enemies.
With 30 levels in total, you should be able to complete the game in 30 minutes to an hour.

The opening video is full of expression, considering the characters are made only of circles and triangles! You will need some level of Japanese to understand the instructions, but you may be able to figure out (especially by reading "How to Play" above).

[Action] Ayakashi Dochuden (Haunted Journey)
App Store description (translated):
In a world ravaged by monsters... a lone wanderer stood to defend it.
Fight the monsters and bring back peace to the land.
How to PlayTravel between areas and eliminate the monsters.Power up through the money and items won in battle.Defeat the boss monster lying in wait!
Day and NightTime passes as you travel through each area.Daytime monsters are weak, but those at night are strong.Keep that in mind.
BattlesBattle commences when you approach an enemy.Cut them down with the "slash" button!
GuardWithstand monster attacks with the "guard" button.When you guard right before an enemy attack,they will flinch and be unable to move!That's your chance to deliver the finishing blow!

The only problem is that the button for the healing item gets replaced with "slash" when you enter battle, so when it's over you may end up healing yourself and wasting an item!

[Casual] Ichiban Yoi Namae o Tanomu (The Best Name, Please)
App Store description (translated):
One day, you are placed at a new office.
Your job is to give names to the babies born into this world.
To the babies just waiting in their mothers' bellies, wondering when their mothers will give them birth, you are to give the best name and send them off to the rest of their lives.
Simple Gameplay You don't need any complicated controls at all to play this game.
Just think of a name for the baby and tap the screen a few times.
Results Change With the Name The name you give has a big effect on the baby's life.
Possible combinations number more than a trillion.
Try to give a name that will provide a rosy path.
Play in Your Free Time Each session takes less than 60 seconds.
While you're waiting for friends, on the bus, or during any free time,go ahead and try giving the names you've come up with.
It's one of those apps that pushes the boundaries of the meaning of "games", but if you believe hard enough... !


[Casual] Nananengode Matteru (Waiting for Seven Years)
App Store description (translated):

Seven years ago, I lost my memory...
But I still remember that one promise...
"I'll be waiting here for you in seven years."
I don't remember their face or name, only that promise.
That's why I came back to this town:
to recover my fragmented memories
and to keep the promise I made that day.
Game Description
Story
The story starts with the main character, who somehow lost his memories seven years ago, coming back to his hometown for spring vacation after begging his parents.
Game Type
You could call it an RPG-like game without battles.
Free to Play?
You can play the whole game until the end without pause.
There's no counter for stamina or anything like that.

It's more like an interactive story, but you'll get hooked on the mystery! And it's completely in Japanese, so you can get a lot of reading practice in if you're willing to look up kanji.
