About this game

Hanii in the Sky is a 1989 arcade shooter developed and published by FACE. You control Hani, a stone-age Japanese objet d'art summoned by the god Izanaki to enter Izanami's heart and destroy the demon corrupting her.

Inside Izanami's heart, the game becomes a vertically scrolling shoot'em up. One button fires Hani's weapon, while another rotates the gun clockwise, allowing attacks against enemies approaching from different directions. Hani begins with one life and a weak weapon, but enemy shots provide spiritual power that can be exchanged with Izanaki for upgrades such as multiple shots. Izanaki can also grant teleportation, enabling travel between levels.
