How it feels
A tense, meditative shmup where each decision narrows both space and mind, forcing you to balance progress against inevitable decay.

What players say
Players praise the unique screen-repair mechanic that sets this shmup apart, but note it is very short at only four levels. The final level is a difficulty spike. Some players report performance issues like slowdown, while others see it as a free student project with limited content.
