Great little R-type action game. I appreciate that you gave me a little bit of time to get used to the controls before throwing enemies at me, and I enjoyed the element of strategy in grabbing item.
Since you need to move toward the center of the map to grab items, it's a risky gambit because you have to get closer to enemies.
I would have liked to see something trying out different or new gameplay, but this is very solid for the genre.
