How it feels
A frantic, absurdly chaotic shmup where over-the-top weapons and relentless waves demand sharp focus and quick reflexes.

What players say
Players highlight the heavy RNG and fun but short sessions, though some find it too easy and others cite crashing on a third boss. Split opinions on weapon mechanics: some enjoy the variety while others say the way weapons change is unclear. A few point out poor readability where your own shots obscure enemy bullets.
