Great bullet hell game, intense and fun graphics. I like how each time you die you still get a chance to improve your game with upgrades so there is no wasted time. This gives it good replay value too. Most bullet hell games are too easy this was a challenge to me. Only problem I had was getting stuck sometimes if I moved to the far left/right sides of the game.

Should never get stuck tho... in my last update a few publishers asked me to adjust the game position (hml5 stuff that encapsulates the game) so it is middle. Tested a bit, full game runs and it all seemed ok to me. On the bright side, once u defeat a boss, in the next run the level flows much faster and the boss is only half health to quickly traverse through... so re-runs and comming back in the next day to try again is a thing I also took into consideration when building the pseudo-randomly generated levels.
Good game. a bit too hard for me for the final boss, but I don't usually like bullet hell games. I get the final boss to 1/3 health left before I die. Maybe an extra upgrade to purchase might help, but that's up to you.
For reference, my favorite newground schmup are protostar and this one i remember being called 'renegade or rebel' ( but I can't find it on newgrounds again. . . you play a ship that defects or leaves a federation and explores the space systems and sees how oppressive the federation is before returning with new allies to take the federation down).
Oh yes those squishy sounds are sooo so satisfying
Great stuff, takes a bit too long to upgrade, after a few runs I got my fill. But the art is great and sound effects are spot on. -1/2 star for slight issue with the mouse when I tried to move to aggressively, I wound up in a dead zone at time and it cost me my life many times. Great work man.
Really love the game. One minor gripe is the enemy bullets are green and the background is also greenish. For my eyes its kind of hard to see. Outlining them with a brighter color might help if they still need to be green.
What is the name of the 2 songs? Music reminds me of the old days playing Super Robot Wars W, J, and D.
