I adore your caravan STGs, and I look forward to playing them every jam.
However, I think this one might be the weakest in terms of balance between dodging and scoring. There is simply no need to dodge anything if you just tap the golem and rush forward. In terms of art and presentation in general, it's top-tier, though.
Thank you for the comments!!!
Yeah I didn't really have much time to make a dedicated mechanic so I just went for a very simple shield system. In hindsight it would have been better to make the golem a short-lived hyper mode like what WBaWC did.
The scoring strategy is to regularly switch between using your normal shot (to raise gold value) and using golem (to cash in on the gold value), but it makes the game ridiculously easy for survival indeed. Honestly I want to pull a CAVE one day and make extends super hard to get to offset it a bit haha
