Take one part Pump It Up arrow layout and one part Pop'n Music visual style, and what do you get? Pop'n Stage!

You also get 5 Step Adventure!

You'll play through sets of 3 songs at a time, kind of following a storyline going a galaxy of planets and starways. It'll be similar to a stellar master mode, only you'll be able to select your difficulty, and each set will contain scripted modifiers, much like MGD's Extra Mode. Each set you beat unlocks the next set as well as opening the said beaten songs in the game's regular "Free Play" mode. The game will contain 60-70 all original songs.

This game is not a freeware title. It will be a $5 pay-per-download game, or you could shell out $15 for a special DVD-ROM containing a bunch of extra goodies, including long version songs, wallpapers, and other fun stuff.

The team is as follows and will not grow.
Direction, Music, Design, Stepcharts, Whatever: Renard
Programming, Metrics, Whatever: AJ
The Man With The Plan: InfamousPat
Character Designer + Artist: Rasasha
CRS Programming: WinDEU

01/01/09 is just a release estimate. It will probably be later than said date.
