How it feels

A quick, rhythmic bullet-hell platformer with a retro arcade feel, driven by energetic music and short, replayable runs.

What players say

Players praise the soundtrack and pixel art, but are split on the controls, which some find clunky and unresponsive. The game is very short, often finished in under an hour, though many find it worth the low price.
