How it feels

A frenetic, challenging bullet-hell shooter with pixel art, where you dodge enemy patterns in space while uncovering a story, with both solo and versus modes for competitive play.

What players say

Players praise the soundtrack and addictive gameplay with level-specific twists, but find the difficulty unfair and the story too short and confusing. Some report broken gamepad support and translation bugs.
