ack, wish i'd read the below comment about a lust modifier before playing! that's a really clever mechanic and a welcome twist on the usual "horny is punishment"; instead it has some gameplay purpose and makes for an interesting risk/reward thing
hmm. this Is A Shmup, a genre i'm pretty terrible at, but i think i played this longer than any other shmup in recent memory, so that's probably a good sign. it does need some visual feedback (flashing sprites white? (write a quick shader that combines white with the sprite's alpha)) and maybe ui that's a little easier to read, but otherwise seems pretty solid? i am using a question mark because i don't know anything about shmups??
i love the backgrounds; i don't think i've seen parallax photorealistic clouds before and it's absolutely gorgeous. excellent choice of music too, extremely chill
btw i would speed up the dialogue a tad, and also make it so if the player presses D while the dialogue is still in mid-scroll, it just reveals the rest of the passage instead of skipping to the next one
