How it feels
A frantic side-scrolling shooter where you collect spells and level up through roguelite runs, blending magical girl flair with a comedic school-rebellion theme.

What players say
Players praise the cute art and opening animation, but find the game short at only five stages with an abrupt ending. The roguelite upgrade pool is small, making runs feel samey, and some enemy sponginess undercuts the power fantasy. Bugs and crashes are reported, and adult content is censored per Korean law, disappointing some buyers.
