Bullet hell hard as nails before that genre was even a thing floating around, one of the BEST ps1 soundtracks ever assembled and decent replayability, this was ps1 at it's best!
Awesome soundtrack, slick presentation, and neat ideas/iteration on the genre. Nearly impossible to legally acquire nowadays, having something like this become accessible on PC would be great step up for shmup games.

ONE OF A KIND classic bullet hell, incomparable to anything you have seen - both in its DESIGN and MECHANICS. Very enjoyable and memorable game, once you play it, you'll never forget it. You won't find it nor hear it anywhere nowadays, yet there are many votes - because it's a very niche yet pure fun game.
