Do not buy this game if you want to play with a mouse! The faster you move the mouse the SLOWER your plane moves. Even the "EX" version does not solve this game breaking bug.

3/10 Euroshmup slop. Very pretty art, but that's mostly it. The amount of downtime in the game is ludicrous and it lacks any interesting patterns or tight/consistent mechanics.

Overwhelming bullet-hell, unforgiving checkpoints, instadeaths, unskippable cutscenes and poor gameplay design
