HACHIKOMA: Underground Stadium No. 8

Spin the loop. Find the exit. You are trapped in Underground Passage No. 8: glossy white tiles, humming fluorescent lights, yellow signs... and a street stadium where Hayate, a boy in a hoodie, has been waiting since the summer of 2001.

Spin the loop. Find the exit.

You are trapped in Underground Passage No. 8: glossy white tiles, humming fluorescent lights, yellow signs... and a street stadium where Hayate, a boy in a hoodie, has been waiting since the summer of 2001.

The rules are simple:

Nothing wrong? Beat Hayate in a spinning-top battle. The ticket gate only opens for winners. Keep going.
Something wrong? Don't fight. Turn around and go back the way you came.
Right call: the exit number goes up. Wrong call: back to 0.

Reach Exit 8 and face the champion: the salaryman who walks past you on every loop, Mr. Hachiman.

Anime battles, 2001 style

Three launchers (ripcord, string and trigger), each with its own launch minigame. Release on «LET IT LOOP!».
Steer your top, ram your rival and unleash its spirit technique.
Build your own top: bit-chip, attack ring, weight disk, base and spin direction. Then add paint and stickers.
Saw something strange in the middle of a battle? Shout «ANOMALY!»: get it right and your spirit fills up.

More than 40 anomalies

Posters that watch you. A giant top rolling down the corridor. A train bursting through the wall. A briefcase that unfolds into a stadium. Eight identical salarymen challenging you at once. Some anomalies only appear during battles... and some are about the game itself.

Features

Three areas: the corridor, the platform (trains rush past mid-battle) and the lobby (the stadium rides a moving walkway).
A disposable camera with 27 shots per run. The film develops when the loop is judged, and film doesn't lie.
Gachapon machine, medals, stickers, paints, launchers and 48 collectible bit-chip cards.
A final on 8 stadiums at once.
Exit 0 (reversed rules), Endless mode and EXIT 88: 88 correct loops in a row. One mistake and it's over.
A playable flashback: relive 8 August 2001 as Hayate, the day the loop began.
Something is waiting behind the staff-only door.
Streamer mode: your Twitch chat votes on what the next loop hides, and you can't see the result.
Asymmetric co-op: a friend watches the security cameras from their phone's browser, pings what they see and radios you.
Local 2-player versus on one screen (two controllers, or keyboard + controller).
Japanese voices with English and Spanish subtitles. Controller support.
