Ripple has two sidekicks - anthropomorphic stars called Star Maidens, which work like special power-ups. When she destroys enemies, they will leave behind different colored gemstones, which serve as the game's currency that can be used in special shops. These gemstones are needed to buy upgrades and new magic.
The game has six stages, each with its own challenges and boss battles. Each stage ends with a final boss fight, where Ripple must use all her skills and power-ups to emerge victorious.
