Twinkle Tale was one of those Mega Drive shooters that never made it out of Japan. It was developed by Wonder Amusement Studio and published by Toyo Recording. It's got great graphics and eight expansive levels, but is somewhat difficult and can be frustrating at times. It's also got some decent dialogue in places, hence this translation.

And yes, it does have flying squirrels.
