Pretty good shmup little skeptical of buying a smaller game like this but it was pretty good and it actually has a good amount of content that proved to be challenging. Some small bugs but none of them make it a problem. It's very satisfying to play the game and it jokes of the idea of feeling accomplished from playing games which adds a bit of uniqueness to it that no other shmup I've played has

Screen opens up in a strange resolution that doesn't fit the screen! Couldn't see the bottom of the play field because it extended past my Windows start bar! Picked up a "power up" and then the shots were not aligning to my ship position (offset to the right of my ship) Background doesn't blend it is litterally 2 images scrolling down the screen that do not align. Menus..... well you can barely read any of them. Music and Sound to make your ears bleed! I searched for Shmups on steam and for some reason this was near the top of the list! Presentation is poor. This game really shouldn't be on Steam i am sorry to say. If this is the developers 1st commercial release then to be fair they are not charging a lot in all fairness but this is not good enough to be charging for. Maybe it belongs on Itch.io rather than this platform.
