The game features "costume destruction" in a manner similar to Senran Kagura, which happens when the girls get parts of their clothing torn off as a result of taking repeated damage from enemies. Another feature in the game is the "PVS (Promotion Video System)", which allows players to make their own dance video and custom live performances to their liking. This is done choosing over 150 dances for the characters. Omega Quintet lets players make light waves and effects using the PlayStation Move controller, and they can feature in the music video itself by using the PlayStation 4 camera. During the game's fights, its Voltage Gauge fills up when Takuto protects the idols when the player attacks the enemies. When it rises to a certain point, the player can activate Live Mode, which gives the idols bonuses. The player must also adjust the turn order successfully, as team attacks are formed if characters act one after each other. Development Details for the game were first revealed in the May 6, 2014 issue of Famitsu. A teaser trailer for the game was later released, introducing the game's major characters, setting, and the phenomenon of the "Beep". A further teaser was shown in August, featuring a sample of the game's music, including the tracks "Inchoate Voice," "Eureka," "Move*Menter," "Manmaru marui," and "Complex: Crescent". The game's artwork is drawn by Fukahire, and its music produced by Lantis and WILL.
