### 5/5 — One of the best BulletHell plane shooters out here

*2025-08-01, version 1.2.1*

I’ve recently downloaded this app taking side a couple others that are similar in concept and this one is by far THE best one.
•There are little to no ads.
•The rockets movement is smooth and allows you to control without directly tapping the rocket.
•doesn’t bombard me with ads every time I die.
Overall very good BulletHell game. 5 stars!

### 4/5 — Drones.

*2025-06-18, version 1.2.1*

What makes this game so good is the fact that most upgrades don’t just increase your stats or give you predetermined upgrades, but they instead alter your weapon, with each alter stacking on top of the last, increasing your effectiveness exponentially rather than linearly, ironically enough. This gives you the ability to make ridiculously strong and fun weapons, so fate allows. However, there are also drone upgrades, which gives you drones that follow you and adds to your damage rather than multiplying it, with the exception of the one that mimics your upgrades. This can be very frustrating, because in the normal game mode, you can only get a total of nine upgrades, and in the endless mode, the chances of losing the run is way higher

### 1/5 — 無理

*2024-08-20, version 1.2.1*

目がチカチカして頭が痛くなる

### 5/5 — 楽しい！

*2024-05-14, version 1.2.1*

爽快です！

### 4/5 — Great but a little short

*2021-07-06*

Very enjoyable, but a little limited in enemy types and levels.

### 5/5 — 很好玩

*2021-06-27, version 1.2.0*

非常好玩的游戏，就是关卡流程稍微短了点

### 5/5 — short, challenging shmup fun

*2021-06-26, version 1.2.0*

The game is only five stages, but they are a challenging five stages.

### 4/5 — 楽しいけど

*2021-02-12, version 1.1.5*

コースが少なすぎて30分で全コースクリアしてしまった。 もう少しコース追加してほしい

### 4/5 — 弱いアイテム、また噛み合わせが悪いアイテムがストレス

*2020-11-08, version 1.1.2*

オプションなどの本体とは関係ないアイテムはダメージupくらいしか他アイテムとの組み合わせがなく、また攻撃力も低いためゲットしても面白みがなくストレスになる
また貫通を付与するアイテムをゲットしても元々貫通効果のあるショットが手に入るとお役御免になり得た意味がないと感じてしまう
ローグライクである以上弱いアイテム、組み合わせがあってもしょうがないとは感じるが、このゲームは1プレイを通してアイテム入手機会が10に満たず、一つ一つのアイテムの比重が大きいため弱いアイテムが手に入るとストレスが大きい
アイテムも弱いものの方が多いため入手機会が来やすい
そのため強いアイテムを引くまでプレイ繰り返す事になり作業感が強かった

今後に期待です

### 4/5 — 面白いんだけども

*2020-10-24, version 1.0*

現状だと一本道の途中でアイテムを取ってただただ進んでいくという感じでローグライク感が全く感じられない、アイテムをゲットできるタイミングで何種類かの中から一つ選べるようにしてくれたらかなりいい感じになりそうかなと思います、あと自機の攻撃がレーザーになるアイテムを取るとレーザーと敵の弾が重なった時非常に見えづらくなってしまうのでそこだけ改善して欲しいです
