It’s the 25th century, and planet Earth is in a state of crisis.

An alien race, the Morolians, have launched an invasion against
Earth, randomly shooting innocent victims with a mysterious ray
gun. The effect of the ray is rather unusual, as it forces people to
dance uncontrollably, and enslaves them to alien rhythms.

Of course, their attack has caused a widespread panic.

The fi rst station to grab the scoop is a little-wa t ched space
b ro a d c a ste r, “Space Channel 5.” Sensing a golden opportunity to
b o o st ratings, the dire c to r, Fuse, has sent the only re p o rter left who
h a s n’t been capt u red, a re p o rter named Ulala.

The bro a d c a st begins at the location of the fi rst incident – Spaceport 9.

Ulala must copy the Morolians’ dance steps – Up! Down! Right!
Left! Shoot! Shoot! Shoot!

Ulala is the only hope we have to defeat the Morolians and free the
human victims. The future of the Earth is in her hands!
