The game is incredibly hard, but it's fun to try and beat it! Let me get one thing clear: this is the best entry I have seen so far, practically maxed out the ratings. Here's what frustrated me: I had no chance, spent quite a lot of time but couldn't get past the 2nd planet. The main reason isn't the difficulty itself, but setback punishment: after losing in the 3rd bullet pattern, I have to play again patterns 1 and 2, which are very easy once you figure them out, so it's really just an operational task demanded to get to the 3rd pattern again (which happens often considering the game difficulty). I'd go for a difficulty \/ punishment balance like that on Super Meat Boy, where the super hard levels are compensated by having death being punished with very little setback. You die and you're right in front of the challenging bit again in 5 secs.\r<br\/>On the bright side, for some reason I had to keep trying again and again - there is something really charming and provocative in this game. The soundtrack is awesome too and really sets the mood for what's coming. I'll definitely leave the flash window open and try it again later, when my motivation is higher! This is the best entry I've seen so far. Congratulations!"},{"author_name":"raarlac","author_uid":"11711","time":"Apr 24, 2012 @ 8:30pm","epoch":1335299100,"text":"Thank you guys!

It was fun, it was hard, it was rewarding, and it felt good. One of the better games I've played so far!

Awesome. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>This is a real gem! So simple, so elegant. You get to the essence of the bullet hell shooter, but without weapons. Perhaps because there are no weapons. Really loved the planet graphics. And what the hell is up with the music? It's fantastic, amazing that you made it in 48h while still having to make the whole game. It's nice, really gets you going. I really wanted to fuck Venus up, but he was a real pain in the ass. :D I saved it to play more later.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Just one suggestion, make it clear to the player that there's no weapons. I never read instructions in here or elsewhere before playing, I want to see if the game gives me all that I need to know. I felt that as a shmup looking game, there needed to be shooting, so I spent a while trying to figure it out and kept dying. Haha.
