- Ume is 68 and from Chichibu; her special move turns a kotatsu into an invincible base and sends oranges in every direction.
Field notes
The described loop pairs automatic attacks with player-controlled movement: dodge incoming enemies, gather experience, then choose weapons or charms to shape a run. Each of the eight characters has a named specialty; the featured Ume can retreat into a kotatsu, become invincible, and scatter oranges. The site says test progress stays on the device, with no game-specific cloud save or transfer between devices, and warns that deleting the app may erase progress.
