How it feels

A rough-around-the-edges 2D shooter with pixel graphics and bullet-hell chaos, framed by an earnest, unlocalized sci-fi tale.

What players say

Players praise the level design and responsive controls, but note it is entirely in Japanese with no translation. The difficulty is high but fair, though controller support is broken for many, especially on Xbox pads. Bugs remain in version 2.0.2 that can halt progress.
