What players say

Players praise the game for its ceaseless creativity, with nearly every stage introducing a new mechanic that is explored fully before moving on. The game is accessible to shmup newcomers thanks to customizable shield size, while veterans can chase tough optional objectives. Some find the music and art style generic, and a few note that the default auto-focus can be annoying.
