How it feels

A frantic top-down shoot 'em up where you constantly upgrade your ship to survive increasingly chaotic bullet-hell waves and boss fights.

What players say

Players are split on this short bullet-hell shoot-em-up: some enjoy the music and challenge, but many criticize the upgrade system as pointless since even a maxed shield still leads to one-hit deaths, and the five-stage campaign feels too brief. The game lacks basic options like resolution or volume controls, and its identity as either a euroshmup or arcade shooter is unclear.
