This game really caught me by surprise with its overall look and feel. The game's soundtrack is an album called "Gone Square" by an artist named "Dong". The bosses are named after the tracks on the album, and together with the strange enemies and mono visuals the game forms a highly unique and enjoyable theme, served well by the minimal and philosophically oriented storyline. The gameplay is traditional shoot em up, and is very enjoyable with tight controls and fun bullet patterns. The main character has a shot button and a speed change button and that's it, so the gameplay is fairly basic, but I found the difficulty level and balance to be good. A worthwhile and fun game for shmup fans or fans of highly thematic and unique games.
