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.
