When I loaded it up the music hooked me right away. I was a little confused at first when I started playing the game, but once I figured it out I really enjoyed it. Having a melee weapon in a shmup is not something I thought was a thing, but when you run out of ammo you have to take the risk and move in close to use it. I think that is a neat element and there is something about the look of that weapon that I really liked. I did not make it through on the first pass, but will certainly give it another try. Well done.
