A unique, very charming shmup with a generally great vibe. Clearly designed with scoring in mind, the game’s shorter length facilitates repeat playthroughs in quick succession, allowing for experimentation with the game's various mechanics.
That said, the actual score mechanics are pretty vague and managing the numerous moving parts in each stage means many repeat runs. It’s also pretty easy to get clipped by a stray enemy or enemy bullet (sometimes blending into the busy backgrounds), which can throw off the entire run, but again not particularly a huge deal considering the game's length.
Otherwise the difficulty isn’t bad at all save for the TLB which is a little absurd. I quickly found myself getting hooked despite my initial skepticism. It's sort of a bite-size shmup experience!
