A very fun game, mixing together 'God sim' and straightforward side-scrolling action into something which is addictively fun, if rather easy and short. In each area, you go through a level and destory some boss. You then control an angel, who works to build up a town there, by building roads, and houses along those roads, and destorying the lairs of demons which try to set back the building process. By doing this, you receive level ups and various items. Once you've built up a town sufficiently, you can go through a level where you defeat the main boss of the area. - Zidanax
