Aeternum

"I've played so many types of those games. One that I reviewed previously was Snops, and that one was fantastic. This one was just crap and I didn't enjoy it at all. I'll give it one orange kraken."

- Mari's review of Aeternum

Game Information
Aeternum is a 2012 side-scrolling shoot 'em up game developed by Creaky Lantern Games. The player must guide the main character, Ellica, through waves of enemies and face off against boss characters with scripted patterns of bullets. The game and aesthetics were inspired by other shoot 'em ups such as Deathsmiles and Touhou Project.

In Story Mode, the player helps Ellica attempt to unravel the mystery of a rash of disappearances of students from Aeternum Academy, including her best friend Macy. Arrange mode features a more advanced scoring experience and Pacifist Mode disables the player's ability to shoot at all. The game features five stages, 8 full boss fights, as well as five difficulty levels.

Xbox Live description: ''When your best friend is missing, kidnapped or maybe just out to lunch, what’s a magical demon girl to do? Tear Aeternum Academy of Magic Arts and Sciences apart trying to find her (or where she’s eating) of course! Cat-wrangling squids, corgis in spaceships or hipster witches, nothing can stop Ellica in this quirky bullet-hell shooter that will test your limits to their limits. And maybe beyond.''
