Story
It's the 25th century, and the planet Earth is in a state of crisis. An alien race, the Morolians, has launched an invasion against Earth, randomly shooting innocent victims with a mysterious ray gun. The effect of the ray is rather unusual, as it forces people to dance uncontrollably, and enslaves them to alien rhythms.
Of course, their attack has caused a widespread panic. The first station to grab the scoop is a little-watched space broadcaster, "Space Channel 5." Sensing a golden opportunity to boost ratings, the director, Fuse, has sent the only reporter left who hasn't been captured, a reporter named Ulala. The broadcast begins at the location of the first incident - Spaceport 9. Ulala must copy the Morolians' steps - Up! Down! Right! Left! Shoot! Shoot! Ulala is the only hope we have to defeat the Morolians and free the human victims. The future of the Earth is in her hands.
