Pocky & Rocky 2

Moon Princess Luna has been kidnapped, so Pocky the shrine maiden must brave top-down forests, rivers, snow, lava, etc. to rescue her from the spurned Dynagon. Initially able to withstand only two hits, Pocky can obtain armor and bunny ears for extra protection. She attacks in eight directions with upgradeable, rapid-fire o-fuda amulets, and she both strikes enemies and deflects projectiles by swinging her gohei stick.
