Much better than the original [b]Project Starship[/b]. It immediately displays a lot of personality in the character selection (I bursted in laughter the first time I saw Sophie), and the graphics are much more detailed and distinctive, with some great sprite art and animation. My favourite enemy is a cultist you expect to summon who knows what eldritch horrors... and it's giant fists. Also "Zombie Hitler!... and his giant eyeball". Good soundtrack, too. More games should direct to the websites of their musicians. The ship is smaller, resulting in a larger and more "comfortable" play area. Shooting is now more similar to many bullet hells, as holding the fire key slows down the ship for finer maneuverability between enemy shots, with even two crossing lines appearing to signal where the ship is. The new main mechanic is the X Maneuver, a short dash during which the ship is safe from almost any damage and obstacle. With certain objects and enemies, it can also be used offensively or to cover a long distance quickly, as it's instantly recharged when dashing into them and can therefore be chained.

I tried this for an hour, but didn't enjoy it.

Been playing this with my brother and it's some of the most fun we have had in a while. Never expected that to come from a genre as frustrating as a bullet hell/Touhou style game. Last airship BH I played was Aegis Wing back on the Xbox 360. My only complaint is that while in co-op the visual white flashing from everything is a bit too much and there's no option that helps it. Also, why is there "stress" in one of the modes that has no way to see/no indicator and no real way of managing it ? it also stops the game every time you get stressed. At first I thought my computer started lagging.

The game has improved in every way from the original Project Starship

Probably a weird place for me to start playing shmups but its fun as hell anyway. Some of the stuff the game pulls on you with random events is downright outrageous but the game has a few tricks that make it a bit more lenient than it seems. And the game is wacky enough in every other way so it might as well be mechanically too. Still, whether you dig the rng stuff might affect how much enjoyment you get out of it.
