Short description: 2.5D bullet hell shoot em up which takes place in a diesel-punk setting with weird anthropomorphic characters.

The Good:
  • Highly polished visuals
  • No player health! Your success is dependent on the time you take to finish the level. Getting damaged by enemies takes time away, while killing enemies adds to your time.
  • Lots of bosses, and the boss designs are super unique and creative. 
  • Boss battles are EPIC! Taking one down is extremely satisfying.
  • Cool bullet mechanics that I haven't seen in shmups before (e.g. bullet swarms)
The Bad:
  • Absolutely no idea what is happening in the story (but who really plays shmups for story)
All in all, should you play this?
  • If you are a shmup fan, and aren't terribly concerned with a strong story, then you should absolutely play this!

Here's some boss fight videos!
