The second minigame is an intricate catching and battling game called Islamon.
In Reflection Blue, the table tennis minigame now also features doubles matches with the same basic mechanics. Play continues until either the intensity gauge is depleted, resulting in the player's loss, or until the player has accumulated enough points to knock out the opponent. The accuracy of the clicks is scored from good, to great, and finally excellent. Successive hits on any one indicator will change its color from blue, to yellow, red, purple, and finally a multicolored "Super Shot!!" indicator. Successive hits on any of the indicators will result in the filling of an intensity gauge and will increase the number of indicators from three to five which frequently change position. The first is a table tennis minigame that takes the form of a quick time event where the object is to click one of the circular indicators on the player's side at the moment when the ball hits it. There are two minigames featured in Summer Pockets and Reflection Blue. In both versions, once Pocket is completed, all heroines reappear on the game's title screen. In Reflection Blue, Umi's route becomes available after the completion of Pocket. Upon the completion of the Alka route, another scenario called Pocket is made available, which serves as the true conclusion to the story. When all of the heroine routes in either version have been played at least once, an additional scenario called Alka is made available. In both versions, each heroine will disappear from the game's title screen once her route has been completed. All heroine routes are available when first playing both Summer Pockets and Reflection Blue. To view all plot lines in their entirety, the player will have to replay the game multiple times and choose different choices to further the plot to an alternate direction. Some decisions can lead the game to end prematurely, which offer an alternative ending to the plot. Throughout gameplay, the player is given multiple options to choose from, and text progression pauses at these points until a choice is made. Four of the six plot lines are initially available in Summer Pockets, and seven of the ten plot lines are initially available in Reflection Blue. There are six main plot lines to experience, which is increased to ten in Summer Pockets Reflection Blue. Summer Pockets follows a branching plot line with multiple endings, and depending on the decisions that the player makes during the game, the plot will progress in a specific direction. When the game is completed at least once, a gallery of the viewed CGs and played background music becomes available on the game's title screen. Throughout the game, the player encounters CG artwork at certain points in the story, which take the place of the background art and character sprites. The text in the game is accompanied by character sprites, which represent who Hairi is talking to, over background art.
Much of its gameplay is spent on reading the story's narrative and dialogue. Summer Pockets is a romance visual novel in which the player assumes the role of Hairi Takahara. Nostalgia and the maternal bond are prominent themes in the game. Although Air also features a rural, seaside setting during the summer, the development team aimed for Summer Pockets to have a different feeling to it. The game's concept is by Jun Maeda, but he did not write the scenario due to similarities in themes with Air, which he primarily wrote.
The gameplay in Summer Pockets follows an interactive branching plot line with multiple scenarios, and focuses on the player character gaining the favor of the four female main characters this is expanded to seven in Reflection Blue. Once there, he gets to know the townsfolk of Torishirojima and multiple girls who are the focus of the story. The story is set on a fictional island on the Seto Inland Sea and follows the life of Hairi Takahara, a young man who uses the recent death of his grandmother as an excuse to escape to the island after an unpleasant incident.
