I loved the spritework of the bosses and backgrounds, and the bullet patterns.
The framerate of the gameplay felt kinda low and when combined with the large play area and small size of the player character and bullets it made it kind of hard for me to see at times.
I initially felt as though some of the patterns took too long but on a second play I think they lasted the correct amount of time if a little on the long side - the feeling of collecting and stacking the weapons and powerups to make the fights go faster was really good.
I was not much of a fan of the music but it definitely felt homegrown and had its charm.
After 2 attempts, cleared with a score of 1510330
Also the arcade cabinet being named "MISUNDERSTOODMAN" made me smile for some reason
