Wow! first time ive been early reviewing a game. Anyway, this game is awesome. the adrenaline inducing music along with the reckless playstyle it encourages makes this game very thrilling. This game is much better than just a TouHou ripoff and that is a very difficult thing to achieve while keeping the bullet-hell AND scrolling shoot-em-up theme AND great music. definetly recomend this game, unless you cant handle being dangerously close to lighning fast bullets almost all the time. i only played it for a few minutes because thats all my heart could take and i wanted the honor of writing the first real review (real meaning not just saying "first").11 found this helpful
I don't know any other shoot 'em up with this level of replayability. The wormhole mechanic makes every playthrough unique and gives tools to players of every skill level. The music blows my mind. Loving it.6 found this helpful
i played only like 15 minutes or less of this game and it is a really good shmup. i recommend this game. i don' t know why this is not a popular shmup game because it is great. also the music is awesome5 found this helpful
Amazing game. The dimension change mechanincs adds the precise amount of complexity for a game like this. I love how it rewards you for a risky playstyle. Also, the soundtrack is sick.5 found this helpful
Bare in mind though i give this game a thumbs up, I think it's a mixed bag. Basically, their wormhole mechanic is an interesting one, and if you've seen the preview videos you can see how it is used to evade all the bullet patterns, though it doesn't get big until level 3 where on many occasions you will have to switch levels. The scoring system is almost a combination of Ikaruga and Danmaku Unlimited 3. In the sense that instead of switching colors you switch levels, and you need to be close to bullets when switching to get high score. I'm not too sure what to think of it, the wormhole mechanic is deadly(and necessary) to use in level 4 and 5, you get the faded outline of the alternate bullets so you can see where the hazards will be when you switch, but they travel so fast you can never be too sure, even with an expanded view. But also, when you intend to switch you will have to evade not only the bullets relevant to your timeline(or level), but now you must consider the bullets in the alternate at the same time. I get mixed up so much that I try to evade the alternate bullets too. It's just really difficult; I think if the bullets didn't travel so fast this would be less of a…3 found this helpful
