How it feels

A fast-paced 2D platformer where each death reshuffles stats and enemies, forcing constant adaptation through chaotic, bullet-hell combat.

What players say

Players praise the unique weapon uses, hidden upgrades, and roguelike stat changes on death, but one detailed Japanese review calls the enemy placement unfair and notes flying enemies with bullet immunity cause frustration. The excellent soundtrack is mentioned multiple times, and a controller is recommended.
