Charming and nostalgic retro-style shmup with a cute cat protagonist and appealing art style.
Fun and satisfying gameplay with a good difficulty curve and impactful weapon upgrades.
Great soundtrack and atmosphere that enhance the overall experience and immersion.

Gameplay can feel chaotic and overly cluttered with enemies and effects, leading to unclear collisions and hitboxes.
Sound design can be overwhelming with too many weapon sounds combined and a lack of feedback for pickups and enemy hits.
Current bugs and early access status cause some frustrating moments; the game needs refinement and more polish.
