impressive! the music is a banger, could listen all day. eddie is overly generous and got me fully powered pretty quickly, netting an easy no-miss in the first couple loops. then after a death-spiral in the third (loop 2) i ended off with a high score of 124100 so far. i like the creative shot type fired by the gold guys, which looks like it’s designed to discourage just sitting at the bottom — i feel like you could lean into that harder with some enemies that aren’t popcorn who have wide-scatter shots, starting at one point but expanding outward as they descend toward you. too wide and the bottom becomes a safe space, but if the spread is narrow enough, it makes going higher a more viable strategy
