The game is part of the Kandagawa Jet Girls multimedia project.
The project centers on girls who compete in jet ski races. Senran Kagura producer Kenichirō Takaki worked on the game for the project at Honey∞Parade Games. Naruko (Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet, A.I.C.O. -Incarnation-) is the character designer.
Yū Sasahara and Riko Kohara, the voice actresses for Rin Namiki and Misa Aoi, respectively, performed the theme song "Kyōkaisen Girls" (Boundary Line Girls).
The project also has a television anime that premiered on October 8 and ran for 12 episodes. Hiraku Kaneko (Tsuredure Children, The Qwaser of Stigmata) directed the series at TNK (High School DxD, Doreiku The Animation). Go Zappa (Nekopara, Beatless) was in charge of series composition. Tsutomu Miyazawa (Samurai Girls, Soul Buster) designed the characters based on original designs by Naruko. Sentai Filmworks licensed the television anime.
