Twinstick danmaku game. Enjoyed it.

So there's an enemy introduced in stage 3, it's a yellow-blue bullet that shoots red bullets? Everytime one appears I get confused because all the other bullets are just not shootable. I do think a different sprite for this enemy would fare way better at conveying that it's a shootable. (like, idk, these evil eye enemies from the PC-98, or kedamas?)

The stages seem randomly made but I think there's some sort of enemy wave system? I guess that makes the challenge OK, but maybe a lil bit too much at the whims of the RNG lord. At least it's not too hard nor too easy.

Also I've been replaying the boss battle theme (from my gameplay recording) while typing this comment because holy shit it's funkin', does this track have a name and where can I listen to it freely

Very in-depth and well written feedback comment, I really appreciate it. That stage 3 enemy is not a bullet but rather an enemy by itself yes, it just looks way too much like enemy bullets which was a huge mistake I somehow missed (Probably because of the usual jam panic).

Stages have this timeline which activates and deactivates different enemy spawners which start sending you a set type of enemy in a random direction (With some limits of course), RNG is definitely a huge risk to take when it comes to games like these even if it makes things a bit quicker. Honestly since it turned out decent enough I might mix it in a bit with actual enemy placement in a future game, I'm thinking of new ways to program and make levels as I type this and it says a lot about how differently a person thinks during and after a jam.

The composer of the game is Caramel64, they haven't uploaded the track to Youtube yet but I'll reply to you here again once it's available to listen. In the meantime here's their page: https://tinathecyclops.itch.io

Once again, thank you for your comment, it was very interesting to read.
