This game is absolutely FANTASTIC.
Everything from the gameplay, visuals, sound, music, sense of humour, sense of fun, menu design, hitbox visability, to the background customizability, is hitting the nail on the head- HARD.
This game was made with plenty of love by a real shmup guru.
Only two things I would change- add a "brake/slow down movement" control button for micro dodging, and it's such a great game that I WANT MORE of this stuff. DLC, sequel, whatever- please, please with hazlenut whipped cream on top.
