'''''sora''''' is a [[Prequel]] to the fan-acclaimed [[SuguriSUGURI]], a horizontally-scrolling doujin [[Shoot'Em Up]] by Orange_Juice released during Comiket 78 for Windows PC. Just like its predecessor, it stars a title protagonist, Sora, who must fight her way through waves of [[Mecha-Mooks]] with a boss waiting at end of each stage. ''sora'''s storyline takes place on a once peaceful world being ravaged by an ongoing war between humans and altered humans. It was a war that brought chaos, death, destruction, and the end of any moral values that will ultimately bring an end to all life on Earth. Sora, one of the most powerful altered-humans ever created, is unwilling sent into battle to settle the score. Like Suguri before her, Sora can amass a large arsenal of weapons at her disposal, ranging from [[Ray Gun|beam rifles]], [[Grenade Launcher|bazookas]], [[Laser Blade|energy swords]], and even a pile bunker thrown in for good measure. The game maintains its trademark dashing and lock-on shooting gameplay, but this time Sora's able to three weapons instead of two (generally an energy weapon, a ballistics weapon, and a close-range weapon). The game also improved on its combo-scoring system and adds more emphasis on funneling through enemy fire to restore lost life energy and building up energy for your [[Limit Break|Hyper Attacks]].
 
An English-translated version of ''sora'' has been released on June 1, 2012 and it's currently available through GamersGate. Surprisingly, this was not localized by Rockin' Android, the same translators of ''SUGURI'', but rather by ΩTH as it involves use of such terms as "[[Mega Man X|reploids]]" when the characters were originally referred to as "altered humans," as well as a few [[Dub Name Change|Dub Name Changes]].
 
Like ''SUGURI'', ''sora'' was followed up with a [[Shoot'Em Up]]-[[X Meets Y|meets]]-[[Fighting Game]] with ''Acceleration of SUGURI 2'' released a year later during Comiket 80 in 2011. The game features both the heroines and boss chacters of their respective game as playable characters, a Story Mode<ref>(which wasn't added until v1.3)</ref>, Arcade Mode, local and online Versus Mode, and notability borrows a few other mechanics from ''[[Senko no Ronde (Video Game)|Senko no Ronde]]''. During it's initial release however, lacked certain key originally planned for the game and suffered from character balance issues. Thankfully, the Orange_Juice took action and fixed many of the game's issues with update patches.
