Exerizer follows Toaplan's classic side-scrolling shooting structure, but adds a particular twist: upon reaching each boss, the ship transforms into a mechanical unit that fights in melee, alternating the ranged-dodging pace with more direct confrontations. That mechanic sets it apart within the studio's already extensive shooter catalog.
It's a less cited entry than other Toaplan titles, but appreciated by those who closely follow the studio's production thanks to that transformation idea, little explored in the genre during those years.
