Face the Corrupt: Each stage consists of a boss battle, which is divided into segments called Verses. The enemy’s attacks are intricately scripted to the music—keeping an ear out will tell you what’s coming next! Deplete the boss lifebar in each Verse, then continue to inflict damage for even more points!
Shoot or Shield?: The NOISZ has two functions and only one can be used per beat. You’ll need to attack aggressively to grasp victory, but if you neglect defense, you’ll quickly pay the price.
Dual-Time Action: You’ll perform actions (shoot/shield) to the beat, but movement is in continuous time! To fully control the NOISZ, you’ll have to master doing both simultaneously.
Variable Difficulty Levels: Each song has 3 separate difficulty levels, and the challenge dynamically scales: after depleting the boss lifebar, the boss will enter Overflow Mode for the rest of the Verse, in which they utilize attack patterns from the next difficulty level up!
Damage Scoring System: Successfully hitting enemies or absorbing attacks with your shield increases your Combo, which in turn increases your own attack power! But be careful, as poor timing, using your shield without absorbing anything, or getting hit will cause you to lose Combo. You’ll need to gain a massive Combo and inflict considerable damage in Overflow Mode to achieve AA, S, or SS grades!
Practice Makes Perfect: Finding the game difficult? No problem! Even after you lose all 5 of your lives in a Verse, you can continue to play as normal. You’ll deal significantly reduced damage to the boss, but you can learn all their attack patterns and get revenge next time!

The first thing I thought while looking at these screenshots was "are the creators of Ikaruga going to sue today or tomorrow".

I look at Touhou, and I think "I could do that with enough dedication".
I look at this game, and I think "aww fricc im screwed".
I'll probably download the demo when I get the chance. It looks like fun.

same, but then i read that the thing you switch isn't safe color but that you either shoot the boss or don't take damage from attack instead of ikaruga style, despite using the same colors for confusion too
