The game is super super hard to a new shmup player that's for sure, though a friend of mine looove these types of game I know he'd love the difficulty (might be easy for him though, the skill cap is high in games like these)
Game was great overall. I didn't get why my robot started dealing massive melee damage sometimes (probably the spin command but since I was on kb I don't really know how I did it)
I can see the dev love these types of games
Great job !
