About this game

The developer's description, from the game's Steam store page.

◆ Bullet Hell Rhythm Action!

Get ready for a demanding challenge! With no lanes or notes, find your own path on a 6x6 grid. Each beat brings a new threat, and every measure of music is a test of your mastery! You need to move on the beat, react, and dodge!

◆ Prove your mastery

From geometric traps to complex bullet patterns, learn every track to turn chaos into a perfect combo. See where you stand among the global player base in the Rank mode. Fight for your place in the Top 1% of Engineers.

◆ The chase

Take a breath between beats with an illustrated story mode. Each chapter unfolds through page-by-page prose, following Klare, a Soul Rose Engineer caught between Iris, a Phantom Hunter, and Vignette, a mysterious thief.

◆ Your stage your rules

Enjoy a curated selection of piano and electronic tracks from talented artists with varying difficulties. Whether you’re here for the hardcore bullet hell inspired challenge or just to vibe, adjustable difficulties and modes let you find your zone. But go further and use the built-in beatmap editor to create your custom stages and share!

The stage is set. Wishlist Asterika today!
