In a challenge stage, player can earn extra lives by completing the stage with only one life, competing against the purple man boss, with reduced time limit. Both games look and play similarly, but Super Qix does not contain the silhouette mechanic or adult content.Īfter completing a stage with one credit, sometimes a Challenge Stage option appears after completing at least two stages. Gals Panic is the successor to a game developed by Kaneko for Taito, Super Qix.
Between each round there is a roulette mini-game, where player gets a random item that can help or hinder game play of next round. This game includes 6 stages, with 3 rounds each. However, if the silhouette ratio reaches 80% with alternate background, that game round is restarted afterwards, without going through roulette round.
When the background change occurs, it can be changed back to girl background by increasing meter level to 10. The type of alternate background is chosen at random. If the meter reaches 0, player loses a life if the meter reaches 20 (full), the round is automatically cleared if the meter reaches yellow (6 bars), the background and silhouette is replaced by an alternate picture, with different silhouette. The meter decreases by 1 if player does not capture an area for a prolonged period. Usually it decreases when capturing area with silhouette, but increases when capturing area without silhouette. The meter gauge increases or decreases depending on how background area is captured. Blocks disappear when capturing an area with enclosed blocks.Īt the top of each round is a 20-level meter, where it starts with 11. There are various blocks appear in each round, which can block the movement of player but not enemies, and also affects the strategies of capturing silhouettes. Capturing an area can be done by moving cursor to the edge of the background or edge of an already captured area. During each round, random items can appear in the field, which can help or hinder the player's progress.Ī round begins with the player at the edge of the background. If a player continues the existing round, 1 minute is added to the remaining time. There are a few key differences with the original game, and the series themselves can be split in two clearly distinct product lines: the older "classic" Gals Panic series, and the later "S" series, having important gameplay differences and being intended for different markets.Įach round starts with 3 minutes time remaining, unless affected by a roulette item. When capturing background, only the enclosed area without the stage boss is uncovered, so it is possible to capture 100% of silhouette without capturing the entire background, by limiting the boss's movement to an area without silhouette.
The objective is to uncover the silhouette portion of background with a marker until at least 80% of the silhouette is uncovered. It was unused however, these were seen in the updates.The Gals Panic ( ギャルズパニック, Gyaruzu Panikku) video games are Japanese eroge (erotic games), with gameplay similar to Taito's puzzle game Qix.
