How it feels

A frantic arcade shooter where you must dodge bullet hell patterns while quickly typing pop culture phrases to trigger screen-clearing laser attacks.

What players say

Players like the mashup of typing and bullet hell, but they are split on the controls: typing keys also move your ship and that can steer you into fire. The game is very short, three waves taking minutes, and the pool of movie quotes to type feels small with frequent repeats. Autofire and lack of manual shooting disappoint some.
