The gameplay is pretty solid. I’m not sure how I feel about the scroll wheel aiming, since it only gives you 8 directions anyway. The abilities are pretty good and were necessary for me to beat the game. I especially like the wormhole one.
My biggest gripe is that there aren’t any sound effects. In shmups you’re often focusing on your own ship/character, so sound effects are really helpful because they let you know that your bullets are hitting something, or help you react to different bullet patterns.
Art is nice, it’s clear that there are multiple art styles but it doesn’t get distracting.
