Tried out the demo and really liked it. I love the visuals
and music of the game. I can definitely see some inspiration from ZeroRanger
and Touhou. I'm not super good with shmups but the handling of the player
character feels pretty good. Also, I love your art, the color choice is really
cool, I always love when you can see all the brushstrokes in an artwork (digital and physical).
Now for my feedback, the only thing I'd really say is that
the bullets can sometimes be a bit hard to see during places where the
background is busier (mostly for the silver bullets). The difficulty curve of the level could also be improved,
the beginning is pretty easy, but once you get the secondary shot type, the
difficulty ramps up a bit too quickly. Something else I'd think would be cool
is different color palettes like ZeroRanger, but that's probably a bit
annoying to implement and might not fit with the aesthetics of the game. There was also the attack where 4 orbs spin around and gather in the center of the screen that I think could be telegraphed better since there isn't any visual or auditory indicator that the bullets are going to shoot out in a cross shape.
Anyway, can't wait to see the final product, and good luck
with the development!
