Gameplay

Tough as nails. Enemies swarm from stage two onward and you don't regain health between stages for some reason.
B has auto fire but it's slow so mashing or holding briefly and then taking a brief pause gives you a faster fire rate.
C fires a magic spell. I think it helps but it's hard to tell. Thankfully enemies die from a single hit, unlike many other games in this genre.
A toggles between three speeds.
No slowdown despite crazy stuff happening.
The way the camera moves makes shooting a bit annoying and distracting. This is my main complaint.

4 / 5

Level Design

Amazing variety for a rail shooter. The environment switches between wide open spaces to underground caves to space tunnels and back again. I love seeing the next biome on display.
Some stages feature a lot of environmental hazards, including some which animate.

Theme

Cotton is your standard witch with a sexy fairy friend game. It's cute and over-the-top in its craziness.

5 / 5

Art Style

Incredible. Looks like a 3D Gunstar Heroes. Amazing use of color and sprite work.

3 / 5

Audio

The music isn't bad - it fits the theme - but the sounds are so annoying. If I don't hear Cotton scream ever again it'll be too soon.
