How it feels

a fast-paced pixel art shooter where you pilot a wooden temple block through surreal Buddhist-inspired hellscapes, soothing souls with gentle projectiles.

What players say

Players praise the Ikaruga-like world-switching mechanic and unusual Buddhist themes, but the difficulty draws mixed reactions. Some love the challenge, while others find terrain-based deaths frustrating and unfair due to sudden crushing hazards. Performance problems on modern PCs require framerate limiting, and reviews note the game is a port from the 3DS with sparse content and graphics.
