Reviews
- The game successfully combines rhythm and bullet hell mechanics, providing a unique and challenging experience.
- The controls are tight and responsive, making it enjoyable for fans of both genres.
- The soundtrack is engaging, with a variety of stages and songs that enhance the gameplay experience.
- The combination of rhythm and bullet hell elements can feel convoluted and artificially difficult, making it hard to enjoy both aspects.
- The difficulty spikes quickly, and the lack of upgrades or ways to regain lives can be frustrating for players.
- Some notes are off-beat, and the timing for perfect hits can be overly strict, detracting from the overall enjoyment.

The music in the game is generally praised for its quality and ability to enhance the atmosphere, with a great soundtrack that syncs well with gameplay. While some players find the button combinations and rhythms challenging at first, they become easier to grasp over time. The integration of music with visuals creates an immersive experience, although there are suggestions for improved texture variation.
“On the rhythm side, the music is pretty good; button combinations and their rhythms are somewhat hard to discern at first, but after a while, it gets easier to understand.”
“Retro/grade got everything right where this one gets it wrong (good balance between rhythm/shmup, forgiving without being easy, tons of levels of difficulty, perfectly synced music guaranteed).”
“It's got a great soundtrack, and some challenging levels.”
“While every now and then, you may get pulled away to do pure rhythm gaming feats, most of the time, you're forced to dodge bullets while pressing buttons in time with music.”
“Don't even get me started on how the music and visuals help to suck you into the game's atmosphere (even if the textures could use a bit more variation).”
