Pretty simple, but with executed pretty well.

I'm not great at bullet hells, but I'm always up for upgrading the weapons of a space ship. Got 22950 points on a run where I mostly upgraded the main weapon. That feels like the obvious best thing to do, with the two other options firing randomly. But maybe the spiral thing was getting okayish as the density got higher?

I appreciated the forgiving hitboxes while dodging bullets, but maybe the enemies themselves should have larger ones? 

I think 3 lives feels pretty intense when there's not so much of a pattern to learn and there are a ton of enemies just filling the screen with bullets in random directions. Take my feedback with a grain of salt because this isn't my genre.

This was a fun one. There's just something about upgrading weapons that makes me wanna keep going.

Nice! I'm a sucker for this type of game... I would prefer thrust-based controls (my brain prefers), but this was fine. There were a looot of bullets. Add some cool effects and this is a real game!

I thought it was cool when I noticed groups of enemies were shooting at the same time. Boss enemies in bullet hells like these often shoot many projectiles at once, but to make the basic enemies all shoot at once seems like such a beautifully simple way to create a similar effect.

I expected more of these kind of games, nice entry !

Edit: Oh there is something a tad annoying when multiple ships fire at the same time, the sound gets so loud. Don't know how to fix that though.

I had fun
