I think this game is really fun. i got it at the office bored out of my mind and turns out it was pretty entertaining.
This game is great but unfinished, which is no surprise since it's in early access. At the moment I am playing it, there are not that many abilities you can use, and the progress has been a pain because it depends on luck—what you get and in what order you get something to finish a level. Overall, this game has great potential for the future. Even though a few things are frustrating, you need to keep in mind that it isn't finished or polished yet. If you want to waste a bit of time and are a bit stubborn, go ahead and give this game a try. However, if you want an actual game experience, stay away until it's out of early access. I am looking forward to the future of this game and wish the developers (or developer, not sure :D ) good luck with this project.

i die for games like this so ofc i had to get it! the art and music is super nostalgic and the game is surprisingly pretty difficult! im excited to see where this goes
Idle Maku has been a great game so far. If you like Vampire survivors and bullet hell games you will enjoy this one.
this game was well thought out, and very enjoyable to play, really loving it so far! LOVE the art direction and thought put into the choice of items and play style! love the variety in characters as well! was fun to play and shut brain off to. <3 music also did not feel repetitive 10/10 enjoyed the lock in.
Great visuals, fun items, feels good to play Looking forward to future content
This game is not idle, which I assumed was with "Idle" in the title. The difficulty is pretty high. What's worse is you buy an upgrade and you'd expect the next level to cost more, however, it makes everything else cost more too. That's just stupid. Not to mention the cost of the upgrades get kinda absurd. There is no reroll system either so you just get stuck with trash, A LOT. Best thing about this game is it's 3 bucks. I liked the way it looked, not trying to push graphics or anything, it was simple. Wish you could tone down the flashing bullets when there are several types and all over the place. The game just has a lot more horrible features than good features for a Vampire Survivor genre.
■2022.10.19.追記――――― まずゲーム全体のバランスが悪すぎます。 下のレビューを書いた後にアップデートがあり、ハードコアモードが追加されましたが バランスが悪いまま高難易度モード追加するもんだからそんなもんクリア出来る気が 全くしないし何よりゲームを楽しませる気が全く無いんだなと感じました。 以降何度かバランス調整されているようですが改善の気配は全くありません。 自分はこのゲームはまだアーリーアクセスだし発展性や手軽にプレイ出来る点を評価して お勧めにしていたんですが、現状の調整方向が開発の目指す方向性だとしたらこの先 このゲームに全く期待をかける事は出来ません。 残念です、方向性を見直して出来の悪いVSクローンから脱してくれることを切に願います。 ■以下2022.08.01.時点でのレビュー――――――― ヴァンパイアサバイバーズのフォロワー作品。敵が硬めな上にレベル1だと武器が弱いので開始から早い段階のレベルアップで良い武器を引くかアーマーと回復を引けないと 打開できずに物量にすり潰されるといった感じでというとにかく序盤がキツいバランスでそこを緩和してくれたらもっと遊びやすいのになぁと思いました。 敵を倒すと経験値ジェムを落とし取得していくとレベルが上がり、ボーナスとして表示される3つの武器装備のうち1つを獲得できます。 同じモノを重ねて取得するとレベルがあがっていくのもヴァンパイアサバイバーズと同じです。各武器装備の最大レベルは5です。 武器の進化等は今のところ無いようです。 画面中央上にタイマーがあり150カウント毎に大型の敵が大量雑魚敵を伴って出現します。大型敵を倒すと宝箱を落とします。取得すると所持している武器or装備の一つをランダムでレベルを1上げます。 500カウント経過するとステージボス出現ステージタイマーの下にボスタイマー画面下にボス体力ゲージが表示されます。 ボスタイマーは時間経過でカウントが減ってゆき0になると強制ゲームオーバーです。 ボスを倒すとステージクリアです、次のステージとキャラが1人アンロックされます。 4つ目のステージのアンロック方法が解りません。 序盤がキツい割にこっちの武器レベルが上がったらほぼ消化試合になるバランスはまだまだ調整不足だと思いますが、 まだアーリーアクセスということもあり伸び代も多いと感じました。1プレイ10分程度と手軽にプレイしやすいのも良いです。
Luv the art style, music, and gameplay! It makes me appreciate the bullet hell genre! <3
Game is good and well designed, Needs more character development and overall difficulty to the game, Each character just feels empty, Each world feels repetitive, and not to mention it's very easy, But it's also pretty fun, 6-7/10 game as of right now, Looking forward to the progression in it.
