How it feels

A fast-paced bullet hell shooter that feels like a frantic arcade blast from the past.

What players say

Players praise the core risk-reward mechanic where grazing bullets powers up your shot, calling it clever and satisfying. The pixel art and anime-style presentation stand out, but some note excessive flashing effects and divisive ship inertia.
