How it feels

A bare-bones scrolling shooter where mistakes gradually boost defense, set in a drained grey world under imperial judgment.

What players say

Players praise this as a meaty bullet hell for beginners, with easy difficulty that still teaches advanced techniques like tap dodging. The story and arcade modes plus a replay feature add value. However, one reviewer finds the gray-heavy visuals hard to read and the game primitive, criticizing its reliance on free assets.
