Overview

About this game

A short, free danmaku bullet hell following two gun-wielding angels as war unfolds in Heaven.

Paradise fractured when many celestial beings turned against God, falling as demons and plunging the realm into chaos, an incident that reshaped the heavens.

In this retro-styled bullet hell, you’ll shoot, dodge, and weave through dense curtains of fire as angels wield rifles, demons channel forbidden knowledge, and Paradise itself becomes a war-torn battlefield.

Medieval iconography mixes with Great War grit as chiptune hymns drive the action, pulling you through absurd theological drama and encounters with bizarre demons.

The tale follows Ariel, a clumsy angel who gets separated from her squadron, and Cassiel, who soon sets out to find her. Demonic experiments, ridiculous confrontations, and chaotic skirmishes unfold as the pair tries to reunite.

Short, focused, and skill-driven, the game features two main levels and an extra secret stage for players who want an extra challenge.

This is a complete, ad-free game released for free.

Survive the bullet hell and restore the bullet heaven!
