very cool and polished little game i like it but i do not understand it
without the ability to dodge and a vulnerability time before shooting it seems like the only means of defense is shooting down the fairies, and as far as i could tell they respawn infinitely so i found it a bit hard (nuked on lunatic, nuked on hard, won on medium)
the shift to block reminds me of those arcade onrails shooters.......hit da pedal to go behind cover. it might as well be default behavior for when youre not shooting though instead of being bound to a button unless im missing something
SHANGHAI ALWAYS WINS
edit: also it looks great. good pixels
