Hellsinker/YMMV


 * And the Fandom Rejoiced: The news of the translation patch where met with high praise.
 * Awesome Music: Almost all of the soundtrack, which is done in a strange trance style really unlike anything else. Special note goes to:
 * The Shrine of Farewell, which is really a primer for the whole soundtrack.
 * Rusted Dragon's theme... not easy listening, but very deep and multilayered.
 * The Apostles of the Seed.
 * The first bosses' theme.
 * The incredibly short Scarlet Queen's Kernel theme, which is a remix of the 1-2 boss theme.
 * And here we have a beutiful arrange of Segment 6.
 * The second half of Segment 8.
 * Theme of Floccinaucinihilipilification.
 * It is interesting to note that all stages and bosses are more or less perfectly synced to the BGM.
 * Complacent Gaming Syndrome: Most players who have unlocked the Lead segments never play Segment 2 Behind, citing the lack of scoring tricks and the exceptionally dull endboss Glorious Symbol.
 * Epileptic Trees: The Game.
 * Genius Bonus: A good part of the plot is there mainly for astute players to unravel.
 * Good Bad Bugs: Segment 3 Lead does not have an endboss. If you select it in Segment Location, but with the Discharge button (to activate boss-only mode), the Segment will start as usual... at the result screen.
 * Hell Is That Noise: The "scream" sound effect. Sounds a bit like a cat, and a lot like a demon screaming from far away.
 * It's Easy, So It Sucks!/ True Art Is Incomprehensible: Kagura's Infernal Sabbath setup is looked down upon by many players, who feel that its straightforwardness defeats the entire purpose of the game.
 * It's Hard, So It Sucks!: The sheer apparent convolutedness turns off a lot of prospective players.
 * Memetic Mutation: YOU GOT INSANITY.
 * KEEP YOUR INSANITY.
 * HELLSINKER MAKES YOU SPEAK IN ALLCAPS.
 * Misaimed Fandom: The manual states that Minogame's gender "...is impossible to tell from the appearance, but is usually referred to as male for convenience." The fans does not quite agree.
 * Needs More Love
 * Scrappy Mechanic: For many, the entire game due to its sheer convolutedness.
 * That One Attack: Million Lives in the Shrine of Farewell has Innocent Clockworks, which shoots out spreads of bullets that become harder and harder to squeeze through. Oh, and they block your shots. Characters without penetrative attacks, such as Kagura with her Infernal Sabbath equipment, are in serious trouble here, as their only hope for stopping this attack will most likely be to spam bombs, which will reduce the number of crystals they can get for this stage.
 * Viewer Gender Confusion: Minogame is a hermaphrodite.
 * What Do You Mean, It Wasn't Made On Drugs?: Just take a look at the various title screens, and you should already be able to tell.
