A downloadable game for Windows and Linux

Notice: A controller is highly recommended for play.

"Now, until the moment you die!"

An endless top-down danmaku / 'character-action'-lite game.

How to play

You have two attacks; a light attack, and a heavy attack.

Lower your enemy's health with your light attack.

Once an enemy's health has been drained, they'll enter a 'stun' state. Finish them off with a heavy attack. If you are too slow to act however, the enemy will recover.

You can reflect on-coming projectiles with a well-timed Light Attack; reflected projectiles can damage enemies.

You can 'lock-on' to nearby enemies using your ghostly-half. You can switch targets on the fly.
