Also, I appreciated the use of ordinary objects as enemies, since the shmup genre has a long history of that already!

It really changes what you expect from a shoot'em up. Instead of dodging the bullets I found myself going straight to them!\n\nGood work!\n\nPS1: I couldn't help to notice on your profile that you also code for Dreamcast. Is that so? I didn't know there were people still doing this kind of thing! Incredible!\n\nPS2: Your world record on Type 'n Run was beat... The new record is 83 commands and I don't even know how this is possible!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"okacat","author_uid":"1010540","time":"2018-04-26T06:06:07Z","epoch":1524722767,"modified":1524722767,"text":"A LD game complete with a boss fight, nice!

The extra of having an introduction story to further immerse the player in the world even it's a 48 hours game is a nice touch. The music got to me after some time i had to mute it hehe, but the game is majorly bug free and has good flavour to it.
