So although the games a pure shoot’em up experience. This is not a Bullet Hell. The core gameplay is developed around a principle called the Trinity Mechanic. So the development uses a clever new use of the good old Rock-Paper-Scissors. This mechanic also allows the player to recharge its shield. Charge up a Super Attack or increase its damage at any given time. The mechanic gives a new lease of life to the genre.
With a deep game system, that offers unlimited strategic opportunities. Also including shiny graphics blending pre-columbian inspiration with 90’s pop culture aesthetics. Voila Pawarumi.
Since the games coming from a successful Kickstarter. This is a true tribute to the Dreamcast age of top down shooters.
