Here's my contribution to LD26...

When the theme was announced I decided I really wanted to make a danmaku style game since they tend to be the exact opposite of minimalism :-)

So I've kept the essence of the game genre( the bullet-hell patterns ) and toned down the graphics style to its bare minimum.

There's 15 levels to play and it only takes a couple of minutes to complete the game once you've figured out how to dodge all the patterns.

Instructions:
Shoot the spinning star with your tiny triangle ship, while avoiding all the square shots being shot at you.

Controls:
Either use the arrow keys to move around, and space-bar to start

Or (recommended) drag the ship around with you mouse by holding to the mouse button and moving your mouse pointer on the screen.

(You do not have to place the cursor on the ship, as long as you're inside the game boundaries it will work)

Use 'M' to toggle music on/off
Use 'S' to toggle sound effects on/off
