What makes it fun

  1. Dodge while looking for an opening

    Watch incoming bullets and your own abilities at the same time. Each exchange asks you to find a safe position while looking for a chance to land a hit.

  2. A new character, a new plan

    Each character's magical attacks work differently, so the way you use them changes too. Switching characters gives you a fresh set of openings to look for.

  3. Read a friend's moves in a bullet hell duel

    Dodge a friend's spells while trying to land your own. As you learn each other's moves, you can think of a new approach to try in the next match.
