Version History ============================================================================== v1.0 (12/02/2012) FAQ/Walkthrough started ============================================================================== 2. Introduction ============================================================================== Ai Senshi Nicol is a top-down view action game. All the levels are mazes and you have to find your way through. The goal is to destroy all the domes to get all the diamonds in the level. Once you have them all, a transporter appears and you go in it. ============================================================================== 3. Story ============================================================================== Nicol is a young genius who developed the technology to transport equipment across dimensions of space. News about this discovery spread throughout the galaxy, and now a menacing threat from a distant star system is determined to get their hands on that technology for their own purposes. To do that, a demon has kidnapped Nicol's girlfriend Stella, and is holding her captive until he gets the technology. She waits helplessly behind the demon's chamber, never giving up hope that her true love Nicol will come to save her. ============================================================================== 4.
