How it feels

A fast-paced and challenging retro bullet hell with cute anime visuals and a fantasy setting, where you dodge dense enemy patterns as a magical girl.

What players say

Players describe this as a simple, retro-style horizontal shooter with pixel art. Many note it has no mouse support, only arrow keys. Some say the difficulty spikes because destroyed enemies turn into smart bomb rings that also kill the player. A few mention pixel boobs.
