I went into this not expecting much, maybe even to dislike it but I actually had a really good time! A relic of the time before the bullet hell arms race its successors would inherit, its comparatively sparse levels give it a fairly smooth difficulty curve unironically making it not such a bad entry point for newcomers. People don't seem to regard the music too highly but I think it's got some bangers in it. There's a fair amount of jank though and some cheap shots here and there so it does kinda noticeably lack the polish of DDP. It's not so bad, DDP and DOJ are just tough acts to precede. Humble beginnings, I guess.
