How it feels

A frantic, cartoony bullet hell where you slash and shoot through hordes of enemies and bosses to overcome anxiety.

What players say

Players praise the hand-crafted art and how the game weaves anxiety into its gameplay with smart design. The bullet hell action offers diverse bosses and customization, though some find it hard to distinguish hazards from background. Comparisons to The Binding of Isaac appear, but note rooms are not random.
