❤ Classic Shoot 'Em Up Mechanics

The game features classic shoot 'em up (shmup) mechanics, allowing players to navigate dense bullet patterns while destroying enemies and bosses. Players can select between two playable characters: the Grim Reaper or a girl.

❤ Graze and Soul Collect System

A key gameplay mechanic is the "graze" system. Players earn "graze" points by narrowly avoiding enemy bullets, which fills up a "Soul Collect" meter. Once this meter is full, players can activate a temporary powered-up state that enhances their firepower and survivability. This risk/reward system encourages players to aggressively graze through tight bullet patterns to gain a tactical advantage.

❤ Challenging Boss Battles

The boss battles are a major highlight. Each boss has two distinct forms - an initial beautiful or human-like appearance, followed by a horrific, monstrous transformation. These multi-phased boss fights feature complex, awe-inspiring bullet patterns that test the player's skill and reflexes. Defeating these challenging bosses is both satisfying and rewarding.

❤ Adjustable Difficulty Levels

The game offers a range of difficulty settings, from Novice to Extreme. The higher difficulties ramp up the speed and complexity of the bullet patterns, providing a true test for skilled players. Beyond the main arcade mode, the game includes a Boss Rush mode and a Hardcore mode. Boss Rush lets players face off against the bosses in succession, while Hardcore mode provides a one-hit-kill challenge, extending the game's replayability.

❤ Overall Gameplay Quality

Overall, the gameplay features tight, responsive controls, engaging risk/reward systems, visually stunning boss battles, and adjustable difficulty levels that cater to both newcomers and veteran shmup enthusiasts.
