Not worth playing if you havn't seen Magical Girl Madoka, the anime it's based on, and partially spoils, but a must play if you have! have. Great sprite work that imitates the show and features lots of the more memorable locations. It's a single plane 2D brawler with all 5 of the magical girls, although slightly less than half the moves are ranged. The move-list is pretty impressive with some of the characters. Homura for instance has: a pistol, a machine gun, a mortor, two grenade tosses, a bazooka, and along with her [spoiler avoidance] most iconic ability. It's more about just stringing together 'cool' combos, each character has one or two moves that's clearly the best thing to spam if you play it seriously.

There's a secret level that can be accessed which you will might miss. I won't spoil it but it's all over the internet if you can't find it.

It also supports local co-op which is awesome!

The game is very short and it's not very hard. You'll probably beat it after no more than 3 tries, the difficulty setting just raise enemy health/damage which does little once you already know the boss patterns and the best attacks to lock enemies down.
