A fast-paced bullet hell shooter that feels like a constant, varied onslaught of enemy patterns and upgrade-driven progression, with epic boss fights that demand focus.

What players say
Players describe a free twin-stick shoot-em-up with deliberate pacing and a flexible upgrade system that lets them swap loadouts and reset spent crystals once per stage. They praise the boss design and variety of enemy patterns, while some find the normal difficulty too easy and the story skippable. Opinions split on whether the slow moments hurt replayability.
