This was FUN! I love shmpus generally and the rougelike aspect of choosing power ups here was a great addition. I think I ended up with a build that spawns so many bullets the game actually started to lag, honestly I wished it could have been a bit longer I was enjoying it that much. My only real criticism is the ship is very slow by default, so sometimes you think you can move out the way of a bullet in time but then you just don't go far enough. It's only really a problem during the earlier stages where you have more space to move around anyway. Maybe could be changed to have multiple ship types that have different speeds/abilities.
Also, I heard that lick motif...
