How it feels

A frantic, tongue-in-cheek shoot 'em up where you blast absurd enemies with rapid upgrades and over-the-top humor.

What players say

Players praise the game's humor, voice acting, and charming art style, with randomized levels and bosses giving good replay value. It's considered on the easier side for a shmup, and persistent upgrades help newcomers, though some find the difficulty balance uneven and note non-skippable cutscenes.
