Description
A WonderSwan and PlayStation game back in 1999, players connect lines in order to eliminate them over a stage that move from bottom to the top. Certain moves can trigger a bonus strikes that will help you wipe out the entire screen.
One of the unique elements of the game is it's vibrant "Skin", the background behind the board. They don't just confuse the already hectic gameplay, they also animate base on your actions. And musics play a huge part in the game as well.
The game also introduce a brand new game mode in the form of "DoubleSkin", where an additional board will appear on the already busy screen, and you basically have to play two board instead of one by switching between boards using the left and right shoulder buttons.
