I was far too uncharitable to this in the past, this is excellent. 10/10 level and boss design, a robust and intricate weapons system, a staggering sense of awe and power, and immaculate programming in the performance, visual tricks and object physics. Definitely the best SNES shmup.

But I really, REALLY dislike that extra loops don't carry over the weapons you earn from the stages, that's so stupid, that's so so so so so so so stupid, how, why, what's the point
