So you've watched Puella Magi Magica Madoka. All 12 episodes of the magical girls, the cutest evil face that doesn't change and speaks to you through telepathy, strange doodles and drawings which are called witches, and a hell of a good plotline. You've watched them die over and over again in episode 10. You've watched Homura try to kill Kyubey and Walpurgis Nacht. You've watched how Madoka totally screws over the witch system and becomes a goddess, transcending both space and time. And you haven't had enough of all of this. Well, Tasogare Frontier, a doujin game maker, has produced a side-scrolling beat-em'-up game for all you Madoka fans. It costs 1000¥. But by the grace of our almighty Empress, we've uploaded it onto the site for you guys.

Gameplay

Players begin a new game in Gertrud's level. They must fight through each level in sequence, defeating Gertrud, Charlotte, Elly, Elsa Maria, and Walpurgis Night. A bonus Oktavia level is unlocked if Sayaka dies. Magical girls cannot be resurrected when they run out of soul limit, except by restarting the game from the beginning and discarding all current progress.
Magical girls have health bars and soul limit counters. Permanent death occurs when the soul limit reaches zero. The health bar is recharged by consuming soul limit after taking damage. When the health bar becomes empty or the girl falls down a deadly pit, a percentage of her soul limit points is consumed to construct a new body for her. Using special abilities turns part of the health bar blue. No soul limit is lost if it recharges while still blue, but taking any damage during this period will turn the blue area into additional damage.
Defeating enemies causes the girls to level up, increasing their damage output and survivability. The maximum level is 99. The soul limit is fully recharged after defeating a witch.
Defeating Walpurgis Night completes a lap. One of many ending screens is displayed depending on which girls remain alive, and your game is saved. You can start a new game from the next lap. As lap number increases, enemy attack power and health increases, so the game becomes more difficult, but the girls will also level up more quickly. Unlike the girls, the bosses can have levels over 99. On the higher laps, their levels will even be in the thousands, if not tens of thousands.
I'm currently playing through the game, so watch the video below for more info:

Rawr, well, this got some attention.

Also, Madoka is the powerhouse to rush through all but the last level. You need melee against all the ranged monsters there.
