MAGE and the Grimoire of BEAST
A little naughty and bizarre SHMUP!
About
Select a Grimoire that contains the power of a magical beast, and wear its power to advance through the stage and defeat the deepest bosses.
You cannot select a Grimoire other than the initial state (NONE) at first. By clearing the stage, you can seal the boss in the Grimoire and use the power of the Grimoire.
After clearing all 6 stages, a stage select mode will open, allowing you to choose your favorite Grimoire to play any stage.

Fun GBS shmup! The artwork is so cute. The slime is the strongest by far.
Cool game, starts out slow and easy but difficulty increases noticeably as you progress. The art is very nice too.
As the page states, there is no saving function, meaning that you have to start the entire game from scratch every time you open it. However, the game is short enough to be able to be beaten in one sitting.
Good work!
Seems a bit messed up but other than that, i actually find this game pretty enjoyable and worth checking out!
