How it feels

A frantic zero-gravity bullet hell where every shot pushes you backward, blending cute pixel art with chaotic yokai shooting.

What players say

Players describe a recoil-based shooter where shooting propels you backward, with five characters that each have distinct weapons. The idea is interesting, but awkward controls and some labyrinthine levels drag it down. Comparisons to Lethal Application appear, and some find the gameplay bland or the music annoying.
