Awesome game with many little secrets and a beautiful art style!

A sweet, short and solid little bullet hell roguelike. Doesn't really break the mold but does enough to stay interesting throughout it's brief playtime. It gets surprisingly difficult in some sections and there's a decent amount of secrets to find. Well worth the asking price. My only real complaint is that I wish there was an auto-fire option so just pushing the right stick fired rather than having to hold down RT. My hand hurt after about an hour of playing since you pretty much always want to be shooting.

This was a really fun 1-evening roguelite to play. Controls were simple and designed to be used with a controller. The game is simple, not deep, but provides plenty of opportunity create different types of gameplay. The story of the game is simple, doesn't tell much, but has me wanting more. Several 'rooms' you can enter have requirements that sometimes must be met to activate the secret part of them, and I LOVED trying to solve them. I really wish there were more than just 3 acts. I was ready for acts 4-10. The bosses were so much fun, I just kept wanting more.

Charming and fun! Short lil action roguelite with fun build options and genuinely compelling secrets to explore, that doesn't try to overstay its welcome. There's not a [i]ton[/i] of replay value in here in terms of build variety, it feels more like an adventure game built on the roguelite framework: once you crack the code, you can put it all together to do a final successful golden run and feel like you've Truly Finished. (I haven't actually succeeded at this yet, I've got the pieces but I'm working on the final execution!) It also delivers well on its beginner-friendly but advanced-welcome promise imo. I'm pretty medium-ish at games like this, and I felt like the learning curve was gentle enough that I could sit down a relatively new gamer and they'd do well, but also I'm having genuine trouble closing it out! Good stuff, a strong tight package, well done! Btw, I had a bit of trouble with the twin-stick aim, I'm not very experienced at it and found my shots often sailing by enemies. I decided to just ignore that and take advantage of the auto-lock-on: if you don't touch the aim stick at all, it chooses the nearest enemy, and aims perfectly at it. Less precise battlefield control, but that's just fine for this game imo!

Its not going to be your next "forever" roguelite, but its fun for a few runs. Plenty of good ideas and pretty interesting little hidden things to discover.
