I am late to this thing but finally getting to play through it and thensome with some of the extra stuff you unlock after finishing the game once. This isn't a difficult game to clear by any means if you were focused on survival and safety, but this game shines hardest when going all in to maximize your score. The higher the risk you take, the sooner you die at the cost of higher score. It becomes sadistic to a point when everything in the game will kill you in one hit if you're insane enough to keep risk all the way up for 35 minutes. The two main flaws of this game involves screen tearing when full screen meaning you'll need to activate vsync to get rid of it but there's no option in-game for that. The other issue is that there are some real visibility issues in this game amidst the chaos of screen shake and crazy lights everywhere. It will probably take a bit of time to sit down with this game and be comfortable with it. Even if you don't end up doing the whole thing on one credit on your first try, you should definitely credit feed because there is a pretty generous amount of content unlocked after doing so with two well known Doujin shmup ships I won't spoil here that bring their own mechanics to the game for a completely new feel each time.

This game's greatest strength is being an absolutely insane powerhouse in visual style and presentation, it is loud and unique in a way that tickles my shmup strings like it's a near damn cinematic experience at times. So while the game isn't the most challenging until you push yourself harder with the risk mechanics, the presentation of this game is completely astounding. It was genuinely amazing seeing the gigantic list of testers, retweeters, streamers and special thanks given to all kinds of people in the SHMUP community in the credits, and I think this game absolutely deserves it's recognition especially with the endorsement of so many other people willing to come on board and help/promote this game. A high earned purchase for anyone looking for a SHMUP uniquely laid back in difficulty but still amazingly powerful presentation-wise. It is a real treat and I wish I knew about it sooner.
