Moving around the core, seeing ALL of your enemies at all times - actually solves a really difficult part of shmups - its a pretty genius solution. Plus, I love how you can move in and out of the danger zone, taking a breather from time to time. And you can almost 'shepherd' the enemies, getting them all to go in one direction, so you can follow behind them and destroy a huge clump all together - very satisfying.
I know this must have been a mathematically challenging thing to achieve, so well done, really cool game
Love the graphic style too, very 90's Indie Japan :D
The way the debris spawn was a bit hard to understand.
Overall that's easily a 5/5 game.
It felt really cool trying to aim shots at the enemies on the other side of the core
I found the player moves so fast it was hard to move around safely, and enemy patterns would appear on top of me sometimes so I would get hit
Overall really awesome concept, I would totally play a full game of this, such a unique perspective on a shmup, it's awesome!!
Love the sounds.
