The game editor allows players to design their own shooting levels similar to those shown in Star Soldier: Vanishing Earth. The game has many options, such as creating the stage boss or adding a custom soundtrack for each level. It was originally developed alongside an ultimately unreleased accompanying expansion disk title for the 64DD.[3]

It includes two sample games: "SOLID GEAR", and "USAGI-san" (Mr. Rabbit).

Reception

N64 Magazine noted the difficulty of use in English "without any English instructions", but that "as Solid Gear ably demonstrates, Dezaemon [sic] is perfectly capable of producing a commercial-standard shooter", and that "given an English translation...we'd buy it just for the music editor."[4] While IGN64 did not give it a full review, their coverage called it a "high quality creativity app" [5] and placed it second on their list of "Top Nintendo 64 Imports" after Sin & Punishment, lamenting that Nintendo did not give it a US release.[6]
