How it feels
a fast, chaotic arcade shooter where you control a bird unleashing bullet-hell attacks on a cheerful kingdom, with a darkly funny story

What players say
Players praise the bizarre art and opera soundtrack, calling it one of the most memorable shmups. The runtime is short, around 20 minutes for a first clear, but the scoring system and leaderboards drive replay. Some find the visual clarity poor and the value low for the price.
