How it feels

A fast-paced bullet-hell shooter with anime aesthetics, where players pilot a plane through chaotic skies.

What players say

Players praise the rocket-based scoring system but note it is poorly explained, making the game feel obscure until you watch a guide. The difficulty is punishing, especially for newcomers, and the lack of autofire and defensive options frustrates some. The cute style and multiple story paths encourage replay, but the game is short.
