Description: Net Guardian is a vertically scrolling shoot-em-up that takes
place in a futuristic virtual reality. Criminals have found ways to hide
within the computer system, and corrupt it through their digital
manifestations. The player takes the role of a Net Guardian, an
angelic-looking creature equipped with destructive weaponry with the
goal of wiping out the criminals. The game's environments switch from
abstract computer nodes to anime imagery, sometimes parodying popular
video games (for example, one of the levels has scenery and enemies
reminiscent of Dragon Quest
games). The player can collect power-ups that enhance the current
weapon, and also switch between different weapon types. Each stages
culminates with a boss battle.
