Beginner-friendly with multiple difficulty levels, making it accessible for both new and experienced players.
Beautiful art and music, combined with solid level design and intense bullet patterns.
Includes practice and checkpoint modes, allowing players to enjoy the game without excessive punishment.

Content is somewhat bare-bones, featuring only one character, one shot type, and six stages.
May still pose a challenge for those completely new to the bullet hell genre.
Lacks an extra stage, which could limit replayability for some players.
