Story and Characters

The main character, Pickel

The main character, Pickel, is a boy who lives in a village.
He is forbidden to leave the village and dreams of the outside world. The stone in his left hand is a mysterious stone that has the power to defeat monsters.

The story takes place in a small village.
It was peaceful until Mamono appeared, but at the same time, it was a village where people were forbidden to go outside.

Pickel confronts the Mamono, who suddenly appears.

A wide variety of mamono stand in his way. What is their purpose?

Sipu, Pickel's childhood friend

Sipu, Pickel's childhood friend. His role is to scold Pickel for his mischievousness and recklessness.

He often scolds Pickel, but perhaps that is because he cares for him.

Nez, Pickel's childhood friend

Nez, Pickel's childhood friend. She is usually up to mischief with Pickel, but in a pinch she is his best friend and can be relied on.

▲Nez, of course, also helps Pickel in his fights.

Hashiru x Inspiration: A New Sensation of Battle

Battles are fought by simultaneously bouncing "ideas" called "gachitos" against each other.
There is no perfect move that can respond to any situation. It is a battle of wits in which you must combine all elements to win, including enemy conditions, your own "ideas," nearby gimmicks, and the cooperation of villagers.

▲At the beginning, all "ideas" are "fwat". To defend or to attack, you must first "GATTIT" your "Ideas". Note that you cannot hit the enemy with an "idea" if it is still in "fat" state.

The two players hit each other with their chosen "Gachit" at the same time. It is also important to predict the "gachitto" chosen by the enemy and decide on your own move. It is exhilarating when the strategy works out as planned.

In ▲Battle, it is not only the enemy and yourself that are important. You can also move around to take advantage of local gimmicks or ask for help from villagers. When you are in trouble, try to change the battle situation.
