eXceed 3rd - Jade Penetrate Black Package

Rayne Lindwurm, a descendant of the Dragon Clan, enters a tournament in Pandemonium to compete for a place among the seven Cardinal Lords. Her opponents include other competitors and their familiars, among them her older sister Celestia.

Play as Rayne in a scrolling bullet-hell shooter, weaving through dense projectile patterns and attacking enemies with her Mini-Tiamats, bombs, and Burn Air Raid homing attack. A slowdown feature lets you maneuver more precisely through bullet curtains.

The game has six stages and uses skill-responsive difficulty balancing. Scoring systems reward actions such as grazing bullets and cancelling them, while cutscenes advance the story between encounters.

In these reviews, players who enjoy the game often praise its soundtrack and describe the bullet-hell action as fun or fluid. Some reviewers criticize the control setup, and one says the game does little to explain its mechanics; reactions to the game overall vary.
