Woah this game is a big suprise! sadly, i honestly don't think it really holds up. The art is really nice and i do mean really really nice. Sadly the bullets kinda suck, the colors of the bullets should change a bit during the animation, helps alot with making things stand out. the player hitbox should also be a lot more flashy. The shader kinda ruins the art for me personally, but whatever that's more a personal thing. The idea with slicing the green enemies is quite fun i gotta admit, but it isn't as satisfying as i'd hope. The patterns is were i feel the game is at it's worst. (sorry louie and loki) they are really slow, which is strange since the game puts quite a lot of focus on speed killing and melee combat. They are generally somewhere in between ddp and futari bullets, but the comination isn't very pleasant. i personally think that the whole bar at the bottom is kinda pointless, like why not have powerups? it's not like you have to get out of your way to power up quicker. the music is nice though :). 7/10
