Pudding: Lyre Knight

Perhaps the closest thing the duo made to Irisu Syndrome in terms of mood without spoiling anything, it's of course not the same it avoids the same tricks but it's quite close to it. Taken as a game it is a pretty short experience with technically just two levels with three bosses. It once again throws a twist on a Bullet Hell formula as Murasaki did this time you once again don't have a normal means of attacking. You can only parry with your shield and the parry itself takes away your life, thankfully defeating enemies drops orbs which replenish your life which encourages a faster more aggressive play style. Once you learn the fundamentals it's pretty easy but fun approach on Bullet hell. Most importantly, there's also the Happiness Ring, I really like the Happiness Ring, easily the best part of the game and the best way to play it.

I don't know what to say exactly it's a very easy-to-spoil game it's so intriguing lovely soundtrack great gameplay for what it is it's not long, maybe only worth it to most on sale but I certainly enjoyed my time

Pudding is a really unique and interesting take on the genre in both its approach to narrative structure and the overall gameplay system. It's difficult to talk about because it's best to experience it as blind as possible, but if you enjoyed Irisu Syndrome, or any of the Murasaki games you'll enjoy this one as well.
