How it feels

A fast-paced bullet-hell shooter where every shot must be carefully aimed to ricochet off walls, demanding precision and pattern memorization.

What players say

Players call it a Galaga-style shooter where shots bounce diagonally off walls, adding a tactical twist. It is short, with 5 levels and bosses, no saves or checkpoints, and a hidden level. Some find movement too slow and wish for autofire, while others enjoy the chill challenge.
