Plot and gameplay
In the game the player controls a heroic young man named Blue who has to save the peaceful planet of Raguy. It has been invaded by the evil Daruma Empire, who plans on consuming the planet's resources and polluting it. Blue has the ability to stun enemies, pick them up and throw them as projectiles. He can also shrink himself down in order to access hidden areas. A second player can take control of Princess Fa, who has similar powers to Blue.

On release, Famicom Tsūshin gave the Neo Geo version of the game a score of 17 out of 40.[1]
