Thank you for playing! I’m glad you enjoyed the quality-of-life features I added to the game. Shmups can be a visually overwhelming experience sometimes so I would love to rectify that and ease newer players into the genre!
The Spook Meter can lead to some very scary Kogasa patterns, but that just makes them more satisfying to clear (the base score bonus is higher with a higher Spook).
It’s great to see you’d like to enjoy my other works! I personally would recommend Rampage of the Strongest (for more fun caravan action) or Multidimensional Convocation of Unexpected Genius (for creative and fast bullet patterns).
