It also includes a fully-featured sample game, titled Daioh Gale (a traditional sci-fi shoot-'em-up and the spiritual sequel of the developer's 1993 <a href="/arcade/3045-84/" data-ref-id="3045-84">arcade</a> game <a href="/daioh/3030-65813/" data-ref-id="3030-65813">Daioh</a>), which can be used as a starting point for custom games.</p><p>Similar to its predecessor, this game allows players to design nearly everything needed for an arcade-style shoot-'em-up, including graphics, music, enemy patterns, and level structure. The <a href="/snes-mouse-support/3015-3659/" data-ref-id="3015-3659">SNES Mouse</a> is also supported for the game editor.
