Less of a megaman/vania and more of a shmup to me. I see what you did there, with the tiny hitbox and lots of bullets. An interesting idea to use some of your health for a screen clear, I think it works (in triggering my anxiety of using it)
Short and sweet. May be painful for those not experienced with shmups, but hits just right for those who do.
Great game, looking forward to see some more content!
