Note: I'm not just saying Gentle Mode is easy (because duh, it's easy mode), I'm saying it's easier than it probably should be due to the lives and bombs.

Thank you very much for playing!
You'd be pleased to hear that an upcoming post-jam update not only changes the background to contrast with bullets better, but also includes options to reduce player shot and item opacity! You can now make your experience just a bit more enjoyable with these accessibility options.
In this update, your default lives and bombs have also been reduced to 3 starting lives and 2 bombs per life, in exchange for a system where you gain bonus lives by obtaining high scores. Hopefully this will make the game more challenging and engaging!
I hope you will look forward to it!
