How it feels

A classic arcade shoot 'em up that feels like a relentless, skill-testing gauntlet with no safety nets and a surreal philosophical backdrop.

What players say

Players describe a short, single-level bullet hell where you shoot ground targets and manage cooldown abilities. The occult, vaporwave-inspired visual style draws praise. Reviews note it adapts difficulty to your skill, but also mention bullet visibility could be better.
