What players say

Players recommend this short incremental bullet-hell game for its smooth progression and satisfying end-game loop, though some find the ending empty and the late-game visuals harsh on the eyes. Several compare it favorably to Nodebuster, and a few note that certain challenges require looking up optimized builds, which feels odd for a genre typically played for brain-off fun.
