Your game is such a unique take on the Shmup genre. I really love the art style you chose. The hand drawn aesthetics just feels so great. There is a sense of intensity to the game, but that cutesy vibe of the game never disappears from the game. I think it's also pretty cool that, the player needs to change between states to actually collect or perform the appropriate tasks. The theme and the mechanics are great, but one thing that can be improved is perhaps make the toxic wood in the first scene a bit more different compared to the collectable ones.
