How it feels

A chaotic yet lighthearted bullet-hell with a hand-drawn look, where fast swordplay and quirky mechanical combos create a frantic but casual combat loop.

What players say

Players praise the unique flying-sword combat and bouncy enemies, but many criticize counter-intuitive design choices like floating coins that vanish, a black health bar, and limited viable weapon builds. A single negative review calls it 'trash' but is poorly substantiated.
