There are 7+1 levels. Half of them are boss battles. Good luck!

■Specifications and advice
It is quite difficult.

(Default value is 4. If you are not particular, I think the maximum value is fine.)
Please use it because it recovers to this value when you clear the stage.
When you continue, the values will return to the start of the stage.
You can also select a stage from the menu. Please use it according to your needs.

The hit point of the character is the center of the face.

When the gauge in the lower left corner of the screen is at 30% or more,
holding down the X key will slow down the stage,
and if you continue to hold down the X key The bullets around you will turn into magical swords.
Release the X key to fire. Aiming will change depending on whether you are fighting a boss or not.
Magical Swords give you points when they hit bullets or enemies.
One item is worth three (in the shape of a big diamond) except for boss battles.
LIFE is increased by the total number of items you score.

I gave it a good shot, but I kept getting slapped up on the final(?) boss. It was a little hard to read the bullets against the background sometimes, but the extra hit points helped a lot. :)

Yep. She's the final boss, and quite a tough one at that

Oh ho ho! I just came across this earlier today, and it is awesome!

I didn't know Tukiyono had a sequel!

This is a game that I was immediately convinced how fun it was within a minute of playing. Will nizakashii-san consider doing a port for MacOS?

Really cool game! Had a super tough time getting past 1.1, but once I got the rhythm of the Slow meter, i'm starting to make it through! As others have said, the art and sound design are top notch, really gorgeous throughout

Just like in Tukiyono, you can change how many hit points you have on the main menu and the continue screen. This time, you can set it anywhere from 1 to 9.

Nizakashii themself recommends 9 if you're struggling

Best game of the year, I don't want to hear anything. This is absolutely awesome. The song and the design are incredible and the possibility to choose your life and the stage is really a good thing !
I'm not a big bullet hell player in general, and it's not the kind of game I play, but this game really made me discover the genre and it fit perfectly for a casual player like me.

this adorable pixelated style and this type of arcade-like gameplay is more and more rare these days, it's really nice to see a game like this.

Now go try to finish the game without dying, only one heart and without using the X and C key. (i'm joking this is too hard for me, but i can always dream)

Waiting for a mac version ♡
