I enjoyed all the feedback when I hit the enemies! I loved the art and concept!
If I had to give a critique, the player felt a bit large and I couldn't seem to find a gap in the bullets after a minute or two of playtime.

Thanks for playing. I don't want to sound too defensive, but it sounds like you might not be familiar with bullet hell games. Only the circle at the center of the ship can be hit by bullets. This is explained in the tutorial and general convention for shmups. Also, I kept the bullet count relatively low, unless you completely fail to kill enemies. Hitting enemies with all 3 shots kills them twice as fast as just using the main shot, so getting close to enemies is a good idea. These are some shmup fundamentals, which I kind of expected the player to be aware of, maybe my mistake. Take a look at some bullet hell games by Cave to see what inspired this game.
