  • Great pixel art and visuals that enhance the overall experience.
  • Fun and enjoyable gameplay with a decent variety of stages and bosses.
  • Offers a more relaxed pace compared to traditional bullet hell games, making it accessible for a wider audience.
  • Some odd design choices, such as starting each stage with a vanilla ship and no persistent upgrades, detract from the experience.
  • Weapon upgrades could be better implemented, as they tend to be overpowered and lack variety.
  • The presence of numerous secret areas feels gimmicky and distracts from the main gameplay.
