Apologies for the resolution. My laptop resolution is a bit larger than the games'.

This game is awesome. The concept is a spiritual successor to UFO. It just is. rewarding the player for planning a route and playing quick and aggressive. the first demo was a bit lack luster in making the new mechanics work together in tandem. the "nicely timed!" comes to mind. your damage is really low and the window was tighter. And they fixed it. they fixed everything in general so that the game becomes more approachable and make sense. character uniqueness? Implemented. increased damage? Implemented. and much more I cannot name. Like there was this one moment in stage 3 where it felt natural to time shooting the spirit tokens. and the dopamine that hit me. It FEELS GOOD. PERIOD. This is how you do shmups. Make em feel good and put something that gives a satisfying feedback with some fluff and big colorful words.

I will also add that Ichirin is super fun during stages. But has a tough time during bosses as she becomes really hard to micro with still. Maybe I should put more time and find out.
