Great concept. I love bullet hells but I've never tried one that's not a shmup. Challenging patterns, cool music (although the tutorial felt weird with no music), controls are responsive and extremely easy to get used to. Question: I'm still on Easy, but is there an endless mode? Would be awesome.
Reviews for "Deep Space Dash"
Very good stuff, may even go down as a classic.
Nice. Been playing this for at least an hour now, collecting medals, and it really was a blast. :) Completed the game without any helmets the first time around, just because I didn't know how to buy a helmet in the middle of a level. It'll take a while before I can upgrade all to gold, but the rest of them were a not too time-consuming task to get. Now, imagine if all those badges were also medals? 5 points per badge, maybe? Might be a lot of work to add them, but that would double the fun, at least! Great game otherwise, really flashy effects, nice transitions between levels, and a useful selection of powerups, not to mention all the helmet upgrades.Nice work!

really fun
Really fun but actually quite easy. I didn't have to upgrade or buy any new helmets at all, actually I got bored and explored the menus and found out I could so I upgraded my current helmet fully.
Might have been better with like 2 lives or something per go until a complete gameover screen. And starting helmets should give you like 1 or 2 health only to encourage leveling up and buying helmets. That is theoretically something that could make the game funner and even last a bit longer in my opinion.
The only real issue I had with the game was that you can't go to the very bottom of the screen even though the artwork clearly shows an open space for you to travel along. This has got me caught in a bullet a few times. Annoying!
Also I dont even know what the Eye powerup does... Please tell us or update the game with a glossary of the items.
I also would have liked the missions explained better between levels and some more creative missions too.
mm That's all I can think of right now. Sweet game man! I voted 5 it was fun.

Thanks for the constructive criticism. You've given us a lot to look at, hopefully we can take it away and build on it for future games.
