### 5/5 — Best bullet hell on mobile

*2026-07-02, version 1.4*

If you are looking for a good bullet hell on mobile, pick this one. No other game comes close besides Bullet Hell Monday (which plays completely differently). Attack patterns are challenging and fair, and chasing high scores is fun!

*2024-12-20, version 1.4*

This game is nothing short of amazing. It’s hard. It’s fair. It treats you like a human being. And it has few ads but they pay you to watch. 10/10. (Also are some of the characters inspired by touhou because Hanaka and Elba look like Reimu and komachi)
