Description




Maiden & Spell is a one-on-one magical girl aerial projectile battler, featuring a colorful cast of ladies fighting with fantastic spells.

Battling with magic is simple! Fire your spells, hit your opponent, and don't get hit yourself! Each maiden is color-coded and has a set of abilities unique to them, activated at a press of a button. There aren't any complicated combos or intricate inputs or grabs or melee attacks or block buttons! Just a 3-pixels-wide hitbox, a lot of shiny bullets, and your own dodging skills.

You can fight against a friend in Versus Mode, or test your skill against a series of opponents and bullet hell boss attacks in Story Mode.


An abyss on the edge of the map, said to be the most dangerous dungeon in the world... The Great Circle. A group of young adventurers travel down into its depths in search of a powerful treasure.

Awaiting them are cute monsters, nonsensical architecture, and an ancient city once known as The Kingdom of Stars....


  • A unique versus game with a whimsical fantasy aesthetic
  • 8 cute maidens to play as, each with their own magical attacks, abilities, and playstyles
  • Versus Mode, where you can play 1 v 1 matches against your friends
  • Story Mode, fight against a series of opponents mixed in with 70+ challenging attack patterns to defeat
  • Extra unlockables and optional challenges that will truly test your skills
  • A JRPG-battle-theme inspired soundtrack by composer Steel_plus
  • Online battling with lobbies and rollback

A bullet hell fighting game is an interesting enough concept to stand out on its own, and Maiden and Spell is pretty fun by any measure. The only caveat is that the story mode, while fun, is fairly short at 2-3 hours.

It's neat! I like it. As a fighting game enjoyer (but only Bullet Hell curious) it's a good fun romp if you drag a friend or two in that you enjoy being a smidge competitive with. If you have at least one friend you

Despite my very short playtime I did enjoy the game very much. The story mode was charming and silly, albeit very short; it feels like there could have been some more dialogue for different modes. The gameplay is
