My only complaint is that the game ended
Very well done

This is fantastic, simple controls that feel super satisfying to master (not that I did), very readable sprites and good pacing on the waves, well done!

Fun twist on the shmup formula that is really well executed. Very nice work!

I usually don't like Shoot 'Em Ups, but this one feels much better because of the pushing mechanic. Good job! I like how shooting feels intentional, unlike in classic Shmups

impressive! the music is a banger, could listen all day. eddie is overly generous and got me fully powered pretty quickly, netting an easy no-miss in the first couple loops. then after a death-spiral in the third (loop 2) i ended off with a high score of 124100 so far. i like the creative shot type fired by the gold guys, which looks like it’s designed to discourage just sitting at the bottom — i feel like you could lean into that harder with some enemies that aren’t popcorn who have wide-scatter shots, starting at one point but expanding outward as they descend toward you. too wide and the bottom becomes a safe space, but if the spread is narrow enough, it makes going higher a more viable strategy

I definitely agree on the enemies, if I had more time I would've spent it making more unique shot types that force you to be at different parts of the screen. Thank you for playing!

Great! knockback is pretty cool. High score: 40400
