- 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.
