About the Game

• Brutally Challenging Action

Every stage is built to push players to their limits — so unforgiving you may wonder if even the developer could beat it. Fail, retry, and overcome impossible odds. Feel the rush of victory, then use that momentum to face even deadlier challenges ahead.

• Fast-Paced Gameplay

Simple, responsive controls let you focus purely on movement and action. Instant retries keep the momentum going, so nothing slows you down. Clear a stage, jump straight into the next one… and then the next… and the next.

• Bullet-Hell Style Battles

Enemies attack continuously without pause. Some attacks may occasionally make the screen difficult to see. Please be aware of this.
Additionally, during battles there are no healing abilities or attack abilities available for the player. Players must focus entirely on dodging the enemy’s attacks.

• Element of Luck

The order of enemy attacks is randomized.
Clearing the game will require not only player skill, but also a certain amount of luck.

• Controller Support

Basic controller input is possible; however, full controller support is not officially implemented.
For the best experience, keyboard controls are recommended.

Streaming is highly encouraged. Please feel free to stream the game!
