IMO you should keep it in a drawer, even once it does have a cover. This game pisses me off more than any game should.
1) Why are you naked? Okay, you're a cherub and all that, but is it really appropriate for this little flying naked guy to be roaming your neighbourhood opening up windows looking for little kids?
2) Why are all the dogs trying to kill you, and in so doing why do they only spit the letter B (or in the case of the bigger dogs, the letters BO and W (separate from one another)) at you? How does the bark of a dog kill an angel?
3) Why does he go completely apeshit when he dies? I know Dino Riki goes kind of spazzo, but this guy's even worse.
4) If you run out of lollipop power (or 'GAU' as the game calls it...I WISH Gau was in this game because Gau is awesome) you can no longer shoot pairs of hearts at the dogs.
5) After you 'kill' a dog (again, with the power of hearts ::) ) it can STILL KILL YOU WHILE IT'S FALLING OFF THE SCREEN.
6) The end of the level has you flying around the outside of a house opening all the windows and looking for a kid, who apparently needs to be rescued because the neighbourhood is overrun with little dogs who spit alphabet characters everywhere they go and antigravitational candy and cupcakes, and if you open the wrong window - which you can't know ahead of time because it's random, a dog could pop out and instantly kill you. Yay!
7) The third level boss has some pink-faced girl (I'm guessing here) tied up and is throwing bombs all over the place trying to kill you, and all the while the hostage is just smiling and happy as can be like it's Christmas morning.
That's not even taking into account the annoying controls, slow movement, biased hit detection, and all other miscellaneous BS. Bandai wasn't known for their super quality titles on NES (they were responsible for Frankenstein and Toxic Crusaders, to put it into perspective), but this has got to be the worst game they put out on the system. I'd rather play one of the Fisher Price games than this. Thankfully, I just captured/recreated the two screenshots for the back (thank heavens for FCEUltra's hex editor) so I'll put together the rest of the back tonight, then I can just drop in Segamer's artwork for the front when he's finished with it. Then I'll never have to play this sodding mess again. ;)

Yeah, that was from the low-res screenshots from GameFAQs I think. I remember seeing that one not too long ago. We'll make a nicer one (though the game surely deserves less).
segamer:
I will say that though it's a terrible game, the cover that Wolf and I make will be beautiful.
