The art is just adorable and very polished!
Enjoyed the gameplay although I could manage to avoid some projectiles by just standing on a specific side of the screen.
Once I realized there were powerups I wanted to collect them all hahah. Also let me collect lives ad infinitum !!! >:D
Don't know if this is common practice on shmups, but I could tell the input vector wasn't normalized (maybe I'm wrong though), so you can move faster diagonally than in unit axis directions.
The art style is so on point tho, nice job guys!
