I swear I only got hit once but after a few minutes the darkness just suddenly closed in and engulfed me. Up until then I loved the way it worked, hacing to drive it back. I think with the way you have to hold it down, a holy beam or something would work a lot better. The art and animations were really nice though. Some more variety in enemies would have been nice but that's the LD for you!

The graphics are phenomenon and add the right mood to the game. The gamplay is very fast and maybe too difficult. But that's just an individual problem, it doesn't mean that the game is not good. It would be better, however, if there was some kind of procedural progression in the difficulty instead of having it so hard at the beginning.\n\n\n- PROS: AWESOME graphics and mood. Fun gameplay, enjoyable animations and fitting backgrounds. \n- CONS: Shooting sounds were more like a sci-fi laser which didn't fit that well to the theme of the game, but that's just a minor stuff. Maybe too hard from the very beginning.
