What do you get when you cross a bullet hell shooter and Gradius?
Gradius V!
And personally, I love the hybridization, with the tiny hitbox all kinds of awesome maneuvers become possible. And speaking of awesome, this game really looks and sounds that way, for an early-mid 2000s piece.
This is more of a gameplay test on very hard, loop 1, single stage mode, stage 2. If I dare, I'll probably give the other stages a go too... though this one I won't be able to pull off without dying in entirety, recording slowdown or not.
