It's an hard to master game, yet still a great playing one when you get used to it. It's a side scrolling shooter, much like the first Cotton game, with many of the key features from it like magic and EXP bonuses, but with one unique trick up it's sleeve: the fact you can throw your enemies. This one concept, along with the combos you get when throwing multiple enemies in succession is the key to being real good at the game, and will also skyrocket your score when done properly. When played properly, it becomes a hectic yet fun game that breaks the mold of most side scrolling shooters. My only complaint is that the main gimmick is a little finicky if you're not used to it, and it's not immediately obvious to most players. Definitely worth a look at if you like shoot-em-ups and/or cute anime witches, have a Saturn, or like looking at interesting games that try and break from the monotony of most games in its genre (all of the above if you're me).
