How it feels

A frantic retro-futuristic bullet-hell where you must constantly adapt your ship and strategy to survive each screen-filling boss.

What players say

Players praise the boss-rush bullet hell with auto-aim shooting and three distinct ship classes, noting that customizing abilities before each fight keeps replay value high. The soundtrack is a consistent highlight, but some dislike cheap instakill attacks and wish for quality-of-life navigation improvements.
