I like this one a lot.

This game goes hard. The music, the gameplay and the visuals… chef’s kiss. No notes. I need more! I shall find more.

A really good and challenging game, sadly god forbids me from having >2 lives when the "Danger Lv 1" text kicks in

gameplay made me very overwhelmed and dizzy @_@ and why does fullscreen look like that. mystia looks cte though

hey this was slick. very good 0stRanger clone. Void Stranger was my goty 2023 so i appreciate this a lot.

I was tripped up a bit by the controls, though. My understanding is that if you hold slash, you get put into cycle of slashes for the duration you have it held, but it seems to inherit your place in the cycle from the last time, so if you just tap slash, you aren't guaranteed it'll come out, and if you hold it, the first slash will come out with somewhat inconsistent timing. This led to a lot of deaths for me. I think that if you tap the button, it should immediately do a slash, and then not abort the mode until the timer has run down to the frame of the next slash. c:

aw yeah. mystia vs robots

at first i thought clearing bullets gave you points but i was wrong

i had heard some hubbub on discord about bladeless run so i did it

it was very cool both ways of playing, the patterns were surprisingly doable without clearing bullets

very flashy but the contrast makes the bullets always visible (although sitting in the bottom right makes it a bit hard to see mystia over the text!)

juice, very good. boullets, many. bird, she is there

and marisa with balls is awesome

Fantastic! Short and blood-pumping!

Very neat arcade machine style! Especially the enemy ships, very reminiscent of the pillars of SHmUPs.
If the aliens won't stop pondering, Mystia will make them.

Beautiful visuals as always, and I love seeing melee mechanics in any shmup (more games should do it). It does move very fast with a screen size or sprite scale or something that felt a bit claustrophobic for me, but ten outta ten would ponder orbs again

i entered like a 3rd level flow state to beat this as an usually danmaku-inept person. amazing game

Now this is what I call a challenge. Very gratifying to finally beat those darned orbs!!

this game is a banger

just the last marisa fight i felt it was so difficult to react to anything coming on the screen, but with enough lives i could pass through it.

amazing game

6 Ponderous Orbs

Really underrated game, hidden gem in my opinion! The music is nice, the controls are nice, gotta love shift z x layout for shmups. Very nice gameplay, intrigued by how the danger lvl works. Decided to try a run without using night slash and I gotta say I had a lot more fun than I was expecting! Felt like a Phantasmagoria game (which isn't a bad thing.)

It doesn't utilize the theme as much beyond just "bird char in game" and "flying," but beyond the detriments to the lack of further theme use and a story, it's a very nice game! Short and sweet.
