This game was very fun and challenging. My highest score was 605.

Woah! I love how the challenge progresses! I'm surprised how "possible" it is even into the third stage of the game. It makes you feel skillful here and there.
Aside from desiring a Newgrounds leaderboard for this, the main thing I'd suggest is to add a way to repair your shield. :)

Awesome arcade game!!

very cool!

Thoughts:
* This game honestly feels like it's made for me. I love this kind of evenly paced, reading-and-reacting-not-reflexes escalating bullet dodging challenge. It's an absolute blast to play and the kind of thing I'd love to be better at.
* The minimalistic tutorialization and pacing amuses me and I think fits the game well. 'Here's what to do, the game's starting GO' is delightful, and the little text pop-ins as each new mechanic is introduced feel exactly right. The bullet speed, density and hitbox size all feel exactly right for what kind of game it's trying to be.
* I think the song you used fits what the game is about, nice pick.

made this account just to say keep up the amazing work, highest score I got was 513
