Visually this game looks great. Sound wise it also does well. The difficulty does however, ramp up very slowly and left me bored at some points in the game. I do like the sound effects that kind of act as a combo meter to encourage the player to dash from enemy to enemy. Again, it is a pity that I only really got to utilize them after the last growth stage.
Note: The arcade mode gets the game up to speed a bit faster, so it solves the problem a bit, but not completely.
