I found that on the second boss and the circular firing patterns with a single hole was impossible to dodge from the left side of the screen when it reset back to the right - the player simply doesn't move quick enough, methinks :-X\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The music had an excellent way of amplifying the hectic action on-screen, keeping up the adrenaline. Likewise, the graphics were smooth and pretty, perfectly accentuating what they were and how they could be hit.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>However, I couldn't help but feel that the game was completely devoid of anything related to the theme :-\/"},{"author_name":"nilstastic","author_uid":"2443","time":"May 8, 2011 @ 2:50pm","epoch":1304865900,"text":"Nice graphics, to bad the game was so god damn hard i could only survive to the second wave (where there were some nice effects). =)"},{"author_name":"elbowroom","author_uid":"3590","time":"May 9, 2011 @ 2:55am","epoch":1304909400,"text":"I enjoy this a lot and I'm not a big fan of the genre so you must have done something right as I feel this could appeal to a wide audiance."},{"author_name":"Draknek","author_uid":"741","time":"May 11, 2011 @ 3:31pm","epoch":1305127560,"text":"If I hold down the shoot button it only fires three shots at a time, but if I mash it I can shoot constantly.

Seems pretty Touhou-ish, especially with the point items. The sound it makes when you shoot, and that you had to tap Z instead just holding it, got a bit annoying after a while.
