KILL EVERYTHING. RHYTHM GAME.

Put on your headphones and swallow the entire galaxy to the beat 🪇.

This is a shooter and a rhythm game. The more enemies you kill, the higher your letter rank will get (full clear for S+). Think of failing to kill an enemy as the equivalent of missing an Arrow in DDR or a note in Guitar Hero. You take damage by getting hit by enemies or by missing beats, and you gain life by hitting perfect beats. Just watch the video if you don't get what's going on.

How to play:

Move with [WASD], or optionally arrows.
Kill red enemies with your gun ([J]  if using WASD, or [F] for arrows) or by dashing through them with [Space].
Kill blue enemies when they're close with shine ([K]  if using WASD, or [D] for arrows).
You can also grind on rails by using shine near the end of them.

You can also use left and right mouse buttons for shooting and shine.

Skip the rest unless you try the harder difficulties

Meter
When on hard difficulty or above, your dash and shine use meter.
The meter has 5 bars and replenishes at a rate of 1 bar per beat of the song.
Shine uses 1 bar, and dash uses 2.
Kill 2 enemies with 1 shine and perfect timing to get max bar.
Kill 2 enemies with 1 dash and perfect timing to get max bar.

Beatless
This is the hardest mode. Visual beat indicators will no longer show on screen.
