The visuals and audio are great.
The story is very obscure though.
Gameplay works nice in general but there are a couple of things:
- I had to complete the third level (one shield) three times, because the first two times, the heart got killed briefly after the shield disappeared
- Shield control could be more precise/snappier, with less inertia
- It is sometimes impossible to block incoming projectiles, especially when they come from the top/bottom of the screen as there is less space here. I learned to always keep the shield at the top or bottom to block in time, but then once again, if the projectile is spawned from the opposite direction, it is impossible to block it in time. I guess they are just spawned randomly without "smart checking" of whether it's actually possible to block everything.
Very nice overall!
