What players say
Players praise its blend of bullet-hell combat and puzzle-solving, wrapped in witty dialogue and a whimsical yet desolate atmosphere. Many call it short but well-priced at 3-4 hours, and note the small development team as a surprising feat. Reviews appreciate the assist mode for difficulty options and compare the humor to Undertale.
