I rated this game very highly (don't tell the person but higher than Shibey's lol), very impressive; altho this is another game designed for masochists
Fun, Graphics, Audio, all of them I rated as maximum. Especially the music is very awesome.
Polish is mostly okay with good feedbacks to the player, but it can have some improvements:
- there are some attacks that are too sudden with fast bullets -- an animation signaling such kind of attack is recommended.
- The ability to change shooting direction while flying is also something to consider.
- And also deathbombing; I actually got lucky enough to do that while playing and used a bomb the same time I got hit but I ended up with losing one life but still having full bombs so I definitely died after using my previous life's bomb. Would be nice if I hadn't lost a life imo
The only one I gave 3 star was Originality because well... I think we both know where the core of the gameplay is taken from... with spell cards even lol. Bullet Hell Platformers have been done a lot too including in a fangame. Not complaining too much though; but I think one twist or two to make it even more original would be good next time. Obviously it still has original aspects like the story (pretty much any game) so it's 3 stars; ratings even lower than that is reserved only for obvious rip-offs.
