The art, the environment - but especially the music, so freaking good. You made it? Amazing\n\nMoving 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.\n\nI know this must have been a mathematically challenging thing to achieve, so well done, really cool game","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Nick Barrash","author_uid":"1183405","time":"2020-10-04T23:20:51Z","epoch":1601853651,"modified":1601853651,"text":"Cool idea!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Jacob Bernard","author_uid":"1217827","time":"2020-10-04T23:22:06Z","epoch":1601853726,"modified":1601853726,"text":"This was extremely impressive!

I really like the idea of having the game be built around perspective rather than a more traditional sort of gimmick. The mood is nicely constructed aswell. Very solid overall. I guess if i were to criticize something it'd have to be that playing my first couple rounds was very disorientating. Starting with that sort of intensity doesn't give the player any chance to adjust to the unusual presentation. Something to think about, maybe.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"JCMonkey","author_uid":"1000607","time":"2020-10-05T01:42:08Z","epoch":1601862128,"modified":1601862128,"text":"i liked teh ambient sound of the music, it helped a bit","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"WongKongPhooey","author_uid":"1076102","time":"2020-10-05T07:28:28Z","epoch":1601882908,"modified":1601882908,"text":"Very cool concept and nice interpretation of the theme!\n\nLove the graphic style too, very 90's Indie Japan :D","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"patetfisk","author_uid":"1150372","time":"2020-10-05T09:57:31Z","epoch":1601891851,"modified":1601891851,"text":"pretty cool! maybe a bit repetetive after a while but pretty fun and nice visuals and sounds!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"notsomecats","author_uid":"1224787","time":"2020-10-05T11:08:51Z","epoch":1601896131,"modified":1601896131,"text":"The projectiles curving is awesome.

The curving of the bullets was awesome, and I'm really interested to dive into the source code to see how you pull that off.
