I really liked the deflection mechanic! Controls felt very good throughout. One thing that felt a bit unintended was bullets wouldn't get cleared when you respawn from a game over, so sometimes i got pummeled by bullets immediately when I pressed Continue. And also I noticed the way the boss was designed, it actually gets easier as you progress through the fight. Maybe the bullet patterns should get more intense based on the number of destroyed nodes?
Overall, it was a really fun game that left me wanting more at the end! Nice work on the graphics, they felt very polished
