Slow pleasant early Konami shmup.
It's an especially nice slow co-op game.

Very cute intro and in general quite cute. A bit slow but that is taken care of if you try engaging with the power up system. You will likely slowly float through the stages fine if you don't know about how the power ups work but once you do the game actually becomes much more difficult to manage. Bouncing bells until they turn the right color means you will suddenly die due to the difficulty of keeping track of the bell and stage.

I do actually wish the power up system was easier to manage. Or at least faster. It takes quite a few hits to change the bells and just one hit to turn them back to useless.

Bosses are fun strange designs and also offer much more fun patterns to get through. Most of the normal enemies games consist of mainly running into you with occasional shot aimed at you. The actual stages are a little too slow and boring for my shmup tastes but it is certainly better than some other early shmup titles.

The co-op mechanics are quite interesting and obscure. We weren't able to determine if they were actually useful but firing stacked together would produce a large beam for a moment. Neat! ? :>

Uhh anyways it's pleasant but not extraordinary
