I like that you life refills after you haven't been hit for a few seconds, but since the shield can stay up longer than that, it's really pretty difficult to die."},{"author_name":"Victor RENE","author_uid":"46231","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 12:42pm","epoch":1418128620,"text":"Thanks for feedback. I will update the description to make apparent what I was trying to do.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Basically, you always reach the last level if you don't die. That's easy if you shield up. However you can't fire while shielded, so you make no score during that time.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>A party lasts 4 min. The goal is get the maximum score before time runs out."},{"author_name":"Alendro","author_uid":"39494","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 5:53pm","epoch":1418147280,"text":"fun game, a little difficult but that's not entirely a bad thing.

At the time I didn't know know about bullet hell games. But I corrected the hitboox in the current version (for Android-Windows).
