Liked the animations and the overall style :) Epic! For me, UI-wise the biggest problem was lack of bullets colliding (visuals and sound), but once I got accustomed, it stopped being annoying.
On the other hand, missing hit sound or the enemy position hint (Touhou-style) forces you to unshrink to check where the enemy is, so it makes sense.
The enemy is engaging, has lots of patterns too, I had my share of dodging. Overall, fun!
