The protagonist, Milk-chan, spends her days delivering milk to people, and the ultimate goal of the game is to deliver milk to the king at the highest floor of the castle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The gameplay is based around a simple control system of movement combined with a single punch button. Stages are particularly vertical in nature, so players must utilize Milk-chan\u2019s arm punch to ascend to higher platforms. She can punch the ground to launch herself into the air and can also punch walls to jump diagonally. The game is highly difficult as there are a variety of gimmicks and traps in each stage, and a number of skillful maneuvers are necessary to advance.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20220720-211024-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14165\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20220720-211024-001.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20220720-211024-001-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20220720-211024-001-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20220720-211024-001-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20220720-211024-001-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20220720-211024-001-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20220720-211024-001-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20220720-211024-001-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20220720-211024-001-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20220720-211024-002.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14164\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20220720-211024-002.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20220720-211024-002-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20220720-211024-002-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20220720-211024-002-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20220720-211024-002-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20220720-211024-002-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20220720-211024-002-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20220720-211024-002-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20220720-211024-002-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Stages carry a time limit, and players are able to instantly revive and try again as long as there is time remaining. There are also time extending items that are placed throughout each stage. Players must become proficient at grabbing these time items if they hope to continue climbing to even greater heights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you advance through the game, you obtain a variety of stickers that can be placed all over the screen. The trailer shows stickers being placed in all sorts of spots and confirms that it will even be possible to stick them on the game screens of other players. It also shows that comments can be attached to the stickers. This system will let players cooperate with each other by placing helpful hints in particularly difficult sections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The official site for <em>MilkChan<\/em> can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.google.com\/view\/milkchan\/\u30db\u30fc\u30e0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a> (Japanese only). To commemorate the release of the game, the first three players who make it to the end and deliver milk to the king will be awarded with signed trophies. This is not a contest based on the fastest in-game clear time but is instead a real-world race to see who can finish the game as soon as it can be played in arcades.
