For anyone who was (like me) intimidated by the bullet hell aspect of this game, I would highly recommend turning on the hitbox marker in the graphics settings -- it helped me immensely to learn how to maneuver through the chaos.

The soundtrack is equally impressive, driving the action forward with pulsing, atmospheric tracks that shift as you progress deeper into the game’s layers.
