Dezaemon Plus

About

Dezaemon Plus lets you build your own vertical shooters from scratch using drag-and drop tools. Tweak enemy patterns, weapon types, and power-up placements through a grid-based interface. Design custom levels by arranging background tiles and enemy sprites in a dedicated editor. A separate music tool lets you sequence chiptune tracks for each stage. All assets share a tight memory limit forcing clever optimization. The final product plays like a polished run-and-gun with your handmade content. The game’s creative freedom stands out even by modern standards. While constrained to five levels total, the depth of customization rivals modern level editors. The sprite and music tools feel surprisingly intuitive for 90s hardware. Originally released in 1996 then reissued on later PlayStation hardware, it remains a niche gem for players who want to design their own arcade action. No online features exist but the tools themselves are their own reward.
