A non-traditional shmup that's honestly an okay choice for beginners (not that you'll 1cc it the first time). By just playing it normally, you get a bullet hell with a lot of get-out-of-jail-free cards. That and gigantic schoolgirls. But the game has a dark side. If you make the fatal mistake of collecting too many bees or choosing strong style in black label, the game quickly shifts from a "a decently hard game where you dodge the bullets and use hypers/bombs to help you" to a resource management game where every bomb and hyper must be planned to have even a chance at surviving.

I guess I wouldn't recommend it to people who just want to dodge bullets and nothing else, but this gives a good experience of some traditional dodging and some complex mechanics.
