*2026-05-14*

Im Jahr 2026 sind 30fps für ein Shmup einfach viel zu wenig. Augenkrebs ist vorprogrammiert. Mensch, macht endlich was!

### 4/5 — 楽しい

*2025-10-31*

アーケードで遊んでたゲームがスマホでできる…自分の様な3面エンドなヘボでもやってて楽しいゲームになっててありがたい。ただ、左右にフリックして振り切った時ゲーム画面がウィンドウ選択になっちゃうのがちょっとおしい。でもすごいBGMでこのSTGが遊べるのにはただただ感謝しかないです。
