== Story ==
Basically Galaga!Heroverse's Puyo Puyo Puzzle Pop, this game stars Amitie and Sig. One day, they are going on a trip to the hills, only to fall down into a cave and stumbled upon a shadowy element that they suddenly absorb. Amitieand Sig were overwhelmed with boosted superpowers and they must battle each other to stop themselves from causing damage, only to then pass out.
Sometime later they woke up at a hospital, greeted by a cat named Meena. She has a skeleton skull mask and carries a sword with her. She explains to Amitie and Sig that they have gained Shadowforces, Powerful enhancers that can boost their base superpowers. The two passed out because they just came across some Shadowforces, THE SAME TWO they gained in the cave, and that they weren't used to possessing a Shadowforce.
