How it feels

A frantic, gothic bullet-hell shooter with deceptively cute angels dodging dense waves of enemy fire in tight horizontal scrolling stages.

What players say

Players praise the tight gameplay, great soundtrack, and deep scoring system, but are sharply divided on the character art featuring young girls. The game is short and good for newcomers, though some find it demanding without foreknowledge.
