Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
13 of 53 sampled reviews raised it
The aesthetic of the game is entirely on point, from the dark and dreary fairy tale steampunk pixel art to the surreal operatic soundtrack that syncs up with the gameplay, and the in-game mechanics reinforce the need to replay and memorize every aspect of the game.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
12 of 53 sampled reviews raised it
A charming little shoot-em-up with interesting level and boss designs and a silly (yet very catchy) soundtrack.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
10 of 53 sampled reviews raised it
However, what this game has in store is an interesting story with very short cutscenes played between each levels.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
8 of 53 sampled reviews raised it
At first glance, you might not think much of this game, just another Shoot Em' Up with some cool graphics.
