Thoughts recorded during my playthrough
+ = I liked it
- = I didn't like it
* = Comment/neutral
====================
- The menu buttons look pretty funky in full screen mode, so I'll just play this in window mode.
+ I appreciate the presence of a tutorial
- I wish I could play the tutorial instead of reading it
+ The art looks good - It's a hand-drawn style that is smooth and consistent.
- No music or sound effects
* The magical girls are just text?
- This game is hard. There's a lot going on frequently, and although it's possible to take multiple hits I had several runs that were over in seconds.
+ Control layout is comfortable and makes sense for this game
+ Character is responsive and works predictably
Summary
This game is a simple, brutal, fun time. I think it would be more fun if the difficulty were scaled back a bit. Although the bosses were "magical girls," they're just text and have no backstory so it's hard to relate them to the theme. I did like the art, it's a good style.
