Otocky

Otocky is a music video game released for the Family Computer Disk System in 1987. It was designed by video game director, Toshio Iwai, who has developed music/rhythm games such as SimTunes and the commercial success, Electroplankton. According to Iwai, Otocky "was his attempt at creating a musical shooter video game" and his concept for creating his future video games. In Otocky, the player controls a small spaceship that attacks by using a small ball that ejects when a note is played to attack enemies.
== Gameplay ==
The player controls a musically-operated spaceship traveling through a music-inspired world. Each level in Otocky usually requires music notes to pass; music notes can be collected by using the spaceship's weapon: a rhythmically-controlled ball that is able to shoot out in eight directions, depending on what note is played. Other collectibles include spherical As that can change the tone of the spaceship, and Bs that provide more offense for the spaceship. 
Every time the spaceship makes contact with an enemy, the ball it controls becomes smaller with every hit, eventually being destroyed and costing the player one life.
A music editor sub-game can be unlocked by completing the game, and a pre-installed BGM mode is a playable version of the Adventure mode, the only difference is that the player is invincible.
