I don't know how you got 175 on this game lol, my high score was 98 and I don't think I could go any higher! This was fun! It kinda had guitar hero-ish vibes to me, like trying to nail a correct pattern of key presses. I love the particles that emit when you block an arrow, it really adds a nice visual flair to the gameplay. The rotations are a good twist. Once you get going fast enough it gets hard to tell which way it'll rotate which makes a nice difficulty curve. The only thing I thought was weird is that when you move your shield from the left to the top, it does a 270 degree turn instead of taking the shorter 90 turn. Great submission!
