Reviews
Idle Maku has been a great game so far. If you like Vampire survivors and bullet hell games you will enjoy this one.
I WOULD GIVE IT A MAYBE IF I COULD! Eehhhhhhh it's okay. I love the genre so I enjoyed the game but it's buggy and this is supposed to be a 1.0 release? Yeah idk about that. It needs more time in the oven. It's decent, I'd say 5/10 but the $0.68 prices kicks it up to a 6/10.
Unbalanced mess. Too few skills to choose from. Some skills are totally useless (whip) and some are really OP. (laser.)

Weeb vampire survivors
FANTASTIC twin stick survivor bullet-hell game. Fuses bullet-hell and reverse bullet-hell for a unique challenge. Played well on Steam Deck. Bosses and enemies progress well per level. The game has multiple challenge modes and super cute retro themed pixel art too.
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.
The game is fine, it's another Vampire Survivors type that's popped up in that game's wake. It severely lacks the depth and item variety that comes with VS. While as-is the game is a fun 1-2 hours, I'd suggest waiting on a buy until it's more feature complete.
