Thank you! I love getting feedback from people into shmups.
SFX is generally my weakest area, I'm usually grabbing them from "8 bit" sound packs and they were added pretty late. And I'm sure that meshes oddly with a soundtrack that's using real instruments. I didn't have a target era, but I'm mostly emulating Cho Ren Sha 68k.
I honestly didn't expect this to reach anyone who knows what tate is, lol. Cutscene panels would be lost, but I'm sure Godot has an easy way to rotate the viewport.
Y'know I ended up making it a little narrow just to give more room for the artwork on the sides. But now that I'm looking at it again, I could probably shave a few pixels off for that extra space. I'll definitely consider that for the post-jam updates!
