Pretty sick mechanic, I loved it.

I'm really surprised by how it turned out to be a... Danmaku Beat M' Up? That's quite unique! I got the hang of the controls really quickly though I have a question:
Is there a real reason/intention behind why Meiling can't deflect when she's not focused? I know it's probably for gameplay reasons, but I'm not sure which.

Notes to the others: when you're in melee range, you must mash Attack really fast for your kicks to count as a combo (which in turn fills your bomb gauge faster); and the boss seems to have infinite HP so I guess you can stop 2 minutes in her second phase.

I've had a blast with this game! I featured it in my showcase video:

Hong Meiling fights a SHMUP with martial arts!

I don't understand why you can't make combos by kicking different enemies, thats the usual.
Quite entertaining, still need a little bit polish on the sprites but I liked them even so, I loved the scenario, quite simple but very original.

And Meiling, well, I don't get why she can't kick to the left, it's unfair since one of my strategies is to wait an enemy to shot and then surround it and attack it from behind, but, its even harder since you have to wait or make them attack you from your back, its just a nuisance.

Seija's boss fight could be simpler if you add some fairies to kill and get your special replenished, its not simpler, it just adds some challenge and reward at the same time.

It's incredibly hard, even with the focus, but I really like the idea of mixing up beat'em up and danmaku game. Like the art, it's a very clean and sharp pixel art, and I'm particularly fond of the sound effects.

I'm embarrassed to admit that I spent a lot of time trying to beat this game without knowing that you could reflect bullets, even though I should know better than to ignore the itch.io page.

The visuals are great and the boss was fun. The normal enemies are way too tanky, but so is Meiling, so you can just tank everything while rushing through the stage. The game has some of the usual problems associated with melee attacks in shmups, but the boss fight worked very well and Seija's gimmicks were interesting.

The bomb did not seem to do anything against Seija, but that might have been a visual glitch. Since you can't store more than one bomb (and you start with a full meter), the combo system becomes kind of pointless, but the game is fun even without this and it feels satisfying to just kick away clouds of bullets.

Quite tricky because I'm not good at these types of games, very fun tho
