Awesome.

It was a great game, but I found it a bit too easy. With all of the bullets flying around, it was impossible to NOT kill something every time you discharge your shield. I actually found it even easier to not move unless I couldn't shield. See, if you don't move, bullets come straight to you, which means that if they are deflected, they'll return to sender. With that strategy, I got to phase 16 on my first try, without any upgrades. But still, I like it. I'm not a big fan of shooters, but this one is different. There might be a chance you planned it that way, but I doubt it. Make a sequel, please.

"How will you counter bullet hell without any gun?"
With an awesome EMP shield, of course. Everybody knows that.

Right, well, yummymelon pretty much said it all...

I love this game! The atmosphere was really well put-together; the music and the graphics matched perfectly, and I loved the little voice.

As an "arcade" game, this is great. Its repetitive gameplay actually works in its favour, the rate at which the difficulty increases is steady but challenging, and the variety of enemies is numerically simple but complex enough to provide an engaging experience.

However, this is more than just an arcade game, because of the Upgrade feature. That was a very nice touch! It provides continuity without the demand for plot, like a role-playing game, and allows players to feel as if their points are achieving more than a spot on some kind of e-peen glory board.

Speaking of achievements, my only suggestion there would be to incorporate a -tiny- bit more descriptiveness in the Achievements section. A little humour wouldn't hurt, or maybe a little info on the varieties of enemies to provide meaningless but fun science fiction text. Hell, it's not even a necessary improvement to gameplay, that's how minor the suggestion is.

I have zero complaints about this game. Well done!

Original

As far as I know this is a very original game! The upgrade system is good and the game play is awesome. The only downside to it is that once you've upgraded everything a ton, the beginning levels are slow. That doesn't take away from the game though. All in all, a very great game!
