The artwork of this game is insane! From the artwork to the huge amount of enemy attacks and player upgrades to even having an easy mode for people struggling, I can tell you put a lot of effort into this game... And it paid off! I enjoyed this game thoroughly, It was difficult but satisfying. I think that the double-shot ship with max power is the most OP one, so it felt a bit like a downgrade moving to increase ship size to shoot more bullets at a time. Having played the game when you first released it on itch.io a few days into development, I can see you hugely improved the feel and story of the game; I liked the start that showed off the storyline :). Overall this is a fantastic game with insanely good and unique graphics for a 1-bit style and I am extremely impressed!

Thank you, ForkNSpoon!
I tried to keep it as close to a classic scrolling shooter formula as possible, just to experiment with the game mechanics I had never done before, so the version you've seen back then could have been not very far from the final version (since it conveyed pretty much everything I wanted initially). But having such a great composer on my side made me to put more effort into other aspects.
I'm supper happy that you liked our game!
