Character roster
The title lists ten playable characters at launch, each with a distinct mechanic such as magic casting, faster movement, bullet‑grazing or a detachable weapon. Characters include series staples Cotton and Silk, plus guests like Appli, Ria, Fine, Kawase, Luffee, Tacoot, Ria3 and Izuna.
Additional characters become unlockable, and costume variants are also obtainable, expanding the total number of playable options to fifteen. Unlock status does not affect the documented control scheme.

Stages and routes
The game is described as including ten stages in total: eight main stages and two bonus stages, with main stages revisitable after completing the first loop. The first loop presents the stages in a fixed order.
After the initial loop, the eight main stages become selectable, and players may choose between the "Logic" and "Law" routes, influencing the progression path.

Game modes
Story Mode provides three selectable difficulty levels and includes fully voiced event scenes before and after each stage, adding narrative context to the gameplay.
Training Mode lets players replay any previously played stage with adjustable settings, while Leaderboards record both online and offline rankings.

- Check the leaderboard after a run to compare your score with other players.

Controls
The control layout consists of one joystick and four buttons: Shot, Rapid Shot, Special 1 and Special 2. All characters share this layout, with each special button triggering a character‑specific ability.
