Players use the stylus to fly a group of up to 10 Kirbys through side-scrolling stages, shooting stars at enemies. It features six stages and a final boss battle against Nightmare. Key Features & Gameplay: Controls: The Kirbys follow the stylus, and they automatically shoot projectiles continuously. Mechanics: Players can manage up to 10 Kirbys, which fly in a formation. Power-ups: "P" items can be collected to increase the Kirbys' firepower. Rescue Mechanics: Enemies known as Skullys may carry captured Kirbys, which can be freed by shooting the captor. Panic Button: L or R buttons (or on-screen tap) can be used to unleash a large star wave attack, clearing the screen. The game is often described as a "Space Harrier"-style shooter, with some theories suggesting "EOS" stands for "Explorer of Space." in the final boss, nightmare appears, and you must fight him.
