Movement is left and right only, and pressing a button will apply slow motion to make it easier to avoid them.
The basics are as simple as this. The more you find, the more you get stuck in a high-risk, high-reward world.
Our goal was to create games that you might have seen in a candy store arcade in the 80's.
"Raindrop Sprinters" is the upper version of the free game "Raindrop".
"Raindrop" has been played by many people in Japan and abroad.
This game was highly appreciated by Terry Cavanagh for "VVVVVVV", Derek Yu for "Spelunky", and Locomalito for "SUPER HYDORAH".
The new "Customise" mode allows players to choose their own rules and face many gimmicks,
and the "Onrush" mode allows players to use slow motion to get higher scores.
The more you use slow motion, the higher the score.
The Steam version is even more powerful than the Switch version that preceded it,
with additional arcade-like demo screens and more.
We hope that many people, young and old, men and women, will enjoy playing this game!

[Developer information]
room_909(Shuhei Miyazawa) is a solo indie developer who makes retro arcade style games.
I was a classmate of Daisuke Amaya, the creator of "Cave Story", and was his test player for a long time.
Later, I met "NIGORO" and worked as a test player and behind-the-scenes staff for "La-Mulana" and "La-Mulana2".
After meeting many indie game developers, I decided to make games myself.
