The graphics and audio were really great too. I also like the level of polish in this game (for example the text). A thing I did not exactly understand is whether you had to dodge all the bullets (the small ones)? I mean it seems pretty hard and it seemed to me that they don't take a lot of health. Anyways, I enjoyed this game.

Second, because after sacrificing a drone, your ship tends to fly off after the mouse cursor, leading to a quick demise.\n\nOther than that though... a very competent shmup! You might try playing around with bullet engines like bulletml; they'll allow you to produce more interesting patterns without much work. Also consider difficulty options for shmups in the future; balancing these things for LD is near impossible.\n\nReally though, the pacing was on point for LD, and it was fun enough to keep me engaged to the end.
