The core gameplay here is excellent and unique. I recommend it.
The combination bullet hell and typing test is clever and well executed. It forces you to learn a novel skill and think differently. At first your brain will not want to do this, so you'll try some Bad Ideas.
First you will try typing one handed while doing movement with your other hand on the arrow keys.
Then you'll go two-handed typing, but move your right hand back and forth to do movement.
Then you'll switch to shift-WASD to move, so your hands are always on the home row, but you'll still stop typing to move. Patiently finding safe spots to type a word or two. Then dodging again.
Finally, you'll realize that you can type all the letters except WASD while moving, and you'll only stop for those four. Even better, you'll start using other fingers for the WASD fingers.

Getting to that last style will make the normal game pretty trivial, but it's still very satisfying.
Hardcore is mostly doable. I think the last couple bosses are BS.

The game is wrapped in a fun style. However, everything that isn't the actual gameplay, the actual fights, is just bad. The story is dumb and navigating it is tedious. The conversations are idiotic and slow. The itemization is a waste of time, and will only teach you bad habits for when hardcore comes and you can't use items. I wish there was a way to skip all the filler and just do the fights. Still, it's worth it.

I ran into a couple of bugs, but nothing that made me upset. I highly recommend the game.
