How it feels

A fast-paced 16-bit-style roguelite with a mysterious, existential story and bullet-hell combat.

What players say

A very short twin-stick roguelite with a Touhou feel. Players are split on the story, calling it either generic or thought-provoking, and the music is widely praised. Enemies spawning directly on the player is a common frustration, and the slow leveling grind can feel tedious.
