The needle in this game is pretty clearly dated and there were exactly 0 drops I enjoyed (at least the way they were designed) but I had fun.
Docking 0.3 from the rating just because of the green stage, it had too many ambiguous inputs for my tastes and could be difficult to understand at a glance, it's definitely the most awkward stage to execute as well, granted there's plenty of awkward inputs around the game regardless.
Not a must play by any means, but it's short enough you can beat it in one session and most of it ended up feeling pretty fun.

My experience with this game is definitely biased by some other factors making the grind a lot more stressful than it had to be, but even then I think this game is genuinely just badly made barrage, and to the games credit it's meant mostly as reading practice. It serves the purpose fine but I think it's been reborn as a barrage test to see if you can handle high speed attacks and stuff, and for that purpose I think this game is awful, for one it's just annoying to play because the intro is super obnoxious, the attacks feel pretty unfair at times as well which basically defeats the point to me. I get why people like it but it's just not my thing I guess.

this avoidance is pure positional avoidance perfection, I can really only think of like one other avoidance that does its job as well as this one, that being Mayumushi. beautiful visuals, fun RNG (except for lunatic time), fun patterns, great song, good length but most importantly a great lack of annoying/stupid bullshit. entire avoidance plays very well, every attack flows well into one another. a thing I love about positional avoidance is that, if done well, will utilize every part of the screen. bonus points if it has infinite jump, and even more bonus points if it has normal + infjump sections - which is the case in this avoidance.
only real gripes I have is that one of the early patterns (the one at about 40 seconds in) is by far the most difficult pattern in the entire avoidance and you'll spend a while just dying to it until you get the timing down. it's not an easy pattern imo, I struggled with it. the other gripe I have is lunatic time. it's a really fast rng segment that can really easily destroy you with no warning. everything can suddenly go from manageable to insanely hard or downright impossible almost instantly. this feeling of powerlessness just kinda sucks, especially with someone as incompetent as me, I probably died to this over 30 times. these gripes are somewhat minor though and they don't interfere with the overall experience all too much
highly highly recommended, absolutely fantastic avoidance
