There's really nothing in the game to suggest a story, per`se. The poster and one of the other flyers or an instruction booklet make mention of Queen Maitreya. But (as far as I know) all versions of the game (Golden Castle excluded) have you end up in "the treasure place" where Gurianos's eyes bug out at all the loot. Then you (usually) loop. No Queen or maiden/princess, etc. to rescue.
All those characters are just your opponents at different points in the 3 (well, 4) levels. Those mostly consist of blocking and/or attacking objects flying towards you before you fight.
I've contemplated what the story for this game might be. The people you fight could be former comrades, all now swearing allegiance to (Mad, Gold) King Gaius (who has actually become possessed by whatever that makes his bones come to life ). IMO, that sounds more intriguing, rather than a "hero" out to get the treasure or rescue the girl and having to go through enemies.
LEVEL-4
