Massively recommend this if you're looking for a fun indie game to play, music and atmosphere is top tier, gameplay is good fun and the dialogue is funny, and you get your very own robotic dog!

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
It bills itself as a kind of rhythm-based bullet hell shooter, but it feels like 90% of the dev time was spent on aligning the visual effects with the sound and that's it.
