This game is based on Ueki No Housoku (Law of Ueki), an anime (and manga)
series (which I never knew until I saw this game, I must admit) about a boy
that gets granted the power to turn garbage into trees, and must then engage
in a battle to become the next "god".
As for the game, it's a 2D fighter with a lot of moves (it's a pity you only
get to control Ueki).
Let's go!
----------
|2. Basics |
----------
Down: Guard (can guard in mid-air)
Forward, Forward: Run
A : Jump
Up + A: Super Jump
B : Attack
Up + B: Wood Thrust attack
Down + B: Rising Wood attack
Air, Down + B: Jumping Hammer attack
L + B: Giant Bat attack
L : Used for Special Moves (see Moves section)
R : Used for Super Moves (see Moves section)
These 5 gauges under the life gauge are called "memories", and are
used to perform special or super attacks (as usual).
Pressing the attack button 3 times will trigger a basic combo, and you can
cancel this combo into any of the normal attacks (i.e. 'Wood Thrust', that
actually is a good combo finisher).
The Jumping Hammer attack, if it hits the enemy, will stop the enemy on
his tracks and make him bounce defenselessly against the floor. Then,
you can juggle in some hit (or even a Super Move if you time it right, in
some cases).
The Giant Bat attack can be used to repel thrown objects, and will send
the enemy flying into the air if it hits him.
--------------
|3. Game modes |
--------------
Story Mode
-----------
In this mode you'll fight some enemies following the anime's story,
gaining moves, minigames and cards for you collection.
On each fight, depending on how you fight your enemy, you'll get some
bonus points, that will add together to form a rank. The higher the
rank, the rarest the cards you'll get.
After you defeat an enemy in this mode, you can fight against him
anytime you want in Challenge mode.
Challenge Mode (not available at first)
---------------
Here you can fight any enemy you have unlocked previously, to
get a better rank (and then, new cards).
Minigames (not available at first)
----------
Here you can play any of the minigames you have unlocked (see
Minigames section).
Collection
-----------
Here you can see all the cards you've got (see Collection section).
Option
-------
Here you can adjust the game's difficulty, listen to the game's BGM
(not available at first) and delete all your save data.
---------
|4. Moves |
---------
As you beat the enemies in Story/Challenge Mode, you'll get different
moves for Ueki. Their real name are 'Jingis', but I won't be using that
name much because there ARE differences between Special and Super Moves:
-Performing a Super Move triggers full-screen pictures of the attack
-Two bonuses after the battle ('Only One SM' and 'SM Finish') can't be
gotten by Special Moves (i.e. 'Fuudo' or 'Reverse').
Here they are:

S Rank: 20000-30000 points
(if you're wondering, I think there's no way to go over the 30000 points,
but even in that case, it keeps on being S Rank)
