I was surprised at how much I ended up enjoying and replaying this game. It's got some enjoyable and varied stage design with a solid number of challenging bosses, some great music and a unique art direction that only uses two colours: green and orange. What really makes this game interesting for me though is it's use of Buddhist themes that are woven into the gameplay. The developers make quite a bold decision with it towards the end, but it's one that works for the type of game this is.

It also got me interested in shmups single handedly, which must count for something.
