Rabi-Ribi

Rabi-Ribi is a 2016 side-scrolling video game developed and published by CreSpirit. The game was initially crowdfunded, and despite only reaching half of its funding goal, it released for Windows in January 2016, and was ported to the PlayStation 4 and PS Vita in 2017. The game later received a port to Nintendo Switch in 2019. The game combines the genres of bullet hell and metroidvania through pitting the player against various bosses with dense bullet patterns in a side-scrolling platformer environment. Players control Erina, a bunny girl, who has a very small hitbox to facilitate bullet hell gameplay. Rabi-Ribi has been praised for the degree of customization it offers the player, in addition to a wide range of difficulty settings and modes to accommodate different skill levels. The game's soundtrack and originality have been met with approval, though it has drawn criticism for its weak storytelling and one-note character design.
