Great. Amazing... But one problem

Some of the levels seem to describe a complete bullshit battle when played. Seriously, like some of them, I sit in slow-mo watching patterns for that gap your supposed to get so you dont take damage, and dont find it ANYWHERE. While most levels were good, and the music was great, and the animation and most gameplay flowed very well, a few of the levels where theres just no way of getting out of the swarm of shots without dying because of the specific pattern is just annoying and ruins it. It would be a ten but the bad levels ruins it.

great game!

its wonderful! i love the way that it levels up and the different upgrades you get as you play. but, as everyone else has said, it's way too hard. not that i'm that great to begin with, but it's just so hard ;~;

bad controls

the controls are soooooooo bad...if you move in one direction the ship doesn't always stop in time and it just goes on it's own:(

Some constructive critisism. ALL GAMES SHOULD REQUIRE BASIC INSTRUCTIONS.

Started my first round and it says "Z to shoot, X to slow" I press Z, Nothing. PRess X, nothing.

At this point, i try problem solving. I figure the music is great, and everything seems to be bouncing to the rythm, Perhaps i have to hit the Z on the beat of the song for it to shoot. It'd shoot every now and again, started seeing that the red dots were turning white in my little pulse. Thought it was wierd, kept problem solving, Dodged and weaved shooting 1 bullet every 20 seconds, untill finnally i beat the first level.

In which i got an upgrade saying "Your pulse ring has extended to absorb bullets better"
At this point, i figured, absorb? But eveytime the bullets hit me, including when they were white, i still got killed. ...

Wait, perhaps them turning white was absorbing the bullets firepower, so i may then use those bullets as my own, and shoot them back at the enemy. EUREKA!
-------

That could have all been avoided by some text that said
"Charge weapons by Absorbing incoming bullets with pulse ring. Press Z to fire"

The only reason i figured it out, is because im Nintendo Hard. Im use to not having instructions, But i think we've advanced from the 1990s. So should this game! <3

You can play the tutorial while the game loads.

Neat concept...

I like that you have to get close to the bullets - that's a good twist on a bullet hell game. That said, I'm not sure what you have in mind for "reach maximum level" - I beat the game and sure don't feel like playing levels over and over again just to get some arbitrary XP, so I won't be pursuing that medal (since I don't even know what the maximum level IS).

Art was simple, but I won't hold that against you. It's good to not load the screen with distractions in this type of game.
