How it feels

A methodical 2D shooter that blends tight twin-stick combat with careful exploration and gradual progression through a sparse, colorful world.

What players say

Players praise the mix of bullet hell and metroidvania with varied bosses and tactical combat, but many cite technical problems like save corruption, text bugs, and no windowed mode. The exploration is linear and puzzles are shallow, while steep difficulty spikes and sluggish pacing frustrate some.
