Twinkle Crusaders

Story
The story revolves around Sakura Synn. He is a high school student and the president of the student council of Ryusei Academy. He thought that as the council president, he will be given privileges such as free meals, but soon he realizes that there is no such thing. Instead, being the council president of Ryusei Academy involves getting rid of demons known as Mazoku. He is also informed by a sage named Paqy that he is the son of the former Maou and must succeed his position. How will he be able to keep it a secret and live his school life at the same time?

Gameplay
Twinkle Crusaders use Map-Movement system. Where in each date, player can choose where they want to go. The game consist of 5 Heroine Ending, 3 Sub-Character Ending, and 1 Normal End. The game is separated into 3 part:
 * 1) Common Route: started from beginning of the game until 10/27. In this part, any heroine that we choose until 10/27 the most will be her route her next.
 * 2) Heroine Route (Beginning): Started from 10/28. In this route, player have chance to get Trophy, Assist, and also other Flag until 11/30.
 * 3) Heroine Route: Started from 12/01.Heroine route begin from here and there is no Map-Movement anymore. All heroine (Except Azel) begin their true story here. Azel Story can only be played in 2nd playthrough after Common Route automatic at 10/28.

Battle System
Twinkle Crusaders have a battle system where each character/enemy must reach a line called ACT line in order to act. There are 3 command:


 * Attack: Giving a Damage to the opponent. While attacking an enemy, player is given a little amount of time to execute EX attack. EX attack is a special attack/ability that each character have (except Zako-type and Paqy). EX attack can only executed when EX gauge is 100% or more. Attacking also give a little amount of EX gauge. Attacking an enemy will also knock the enemy depend on their defense. The higher enemy defense, more harder to knock back.


 * Charge: Increase Character Level. After using charge,we cannot charge again or use command wait. This also apply when there`s an unison that have charged and uncharged. After using Charge to attack enemy, our level will revert to normal. Charge also power up EX attack effect and increase the amount of EX Gauge that we receive. The Higher character Charge level, they will attack more fast.


 * Unison: Wait other character in order to perfom unison. There 2 kind of Unison:
 * 1) Forced Unison: a group attack that occur when 2 or more character in same line if the player choose unison command. if there a 3rd character or more whose line difference is 5 frame with unison character, the character will be counted ad unison too. While character is waiting, they are vulnerable and cannot do anything until other character reach ACT line.
 * 2) Luck Unison: Formed when characters got bunched together without using a unison command, in other words, by luck or by brilliant positioning of your characters in the frame. In this case, you have the option to charge the attack, and if you choose so, the character with the least charge time will be used. I call this a Unison Charge.

Below is the list of other explanation:
 * Unison Charge: Boost every character in the unison by +2 LV, so if you have LV1 Synn, Misa and Ria (total LV3) in a luck unison, if you charge them, you'll get LV3 Synn, Misa and Ria (a total of LV9), using Ria's charge time (exactly 5 and 1/2 frame panel).


 * HP Gauge: Show the amount of HP player currently have.


 * Stun Gauge: a gauge with star-shaped that decrease when attacked. Any Character that attacked and it`s Stun Gauge is empty will be stunned.


 * Stunned Character: Stunned characters basically has 0 defense. If you want maximum damage output, always target the stunned ones. It is vitally important to target a downed enemy (if possible) in your last unison strike particularly for later stage, as post-game battles tends to have a higher maximum damage requirement, exploiting this advantage is usually the key for achieving a great ranking in maximum damage


 * Rumble: a state where enemy and ally position is in same line. In this condition, a character with higher level win (Except Masaki who will win no matter how high your level are) or if the enemy and ally have a same level in rumble, the element attribute decide.(Example:if an enemy and ally in rumble each have level 4,but different attribute,enemy fire and ally water,ally will win). An enemy or ally that lose in Rumble will be stunned for a few frame.


 * Boundary Field: If you see a scintillating vertical line in the right end of the battlefield, it means the battle is done inside a boundary field. What it differs from normal battlefield is that, there will be no out of bounds (meaning characters will not go go off-screen when knocked back a lot of frames). Since their knockback are cushioned at the scintillating line as opposed to when characters are thrown out of bounds inside normal battlefield, this prevents a long delay of character wait, but as a penalty, the character will take damage instead. The farther they get knocked away to the boundary, the more damage they take. Note that barrier or any other damage reducing enchantment does not work on boundary damage.

Attribute:
 * 1) Fire = (Lose against Water) (Win against Lightning)
 * 2) Water = (Lose against Lighting) (Win against Fire)
 * 3) Lightning = (Lose against Fire) (Win against Water)
 * 4) Light = (Win against anything but draw against Dark)
 * 5) Dark = (Win against anything but draw against Light)
 * 6) God = (Win against any attribute)

Battle Rank
After battle, every action that player do is counted. There is Good, Great, and Perfect. Below is the list of every action that is counted as rank point:


 * Time Result: The faster player end the battle, the higher the point is.


 * Life Result: Counted from the amount of HP you have till you end the battle. If player attacked, they will not get Perfect even if they use Heal ability.The only way to get Perfect is not to be attacked or lose even 1 HP in battle.


 * Combo Result: The higher the rush, The higher the point.


 * Damage Result: The higher the damage you inflict to the opponent, the higher the point.


 * EX Gauge Result: Counted from the difference between your opponent EX gauge and Player EX Gauge.

There are 6 Rank in Battle: C, B, A, S, SSS, and God. In easy,the highest rank is S.
