Music is a nice touch. It's challenging and could not beat the 4th level. My personal opinion on the core game loop would be to merge the levels into a single arcade mode and add a score system instead of levels with a star counter. This way everyone starts at zero, there is unlimited play for the skilled players and they can compare scores. Powerups would be cool: shield, shrink, boost, bomb enemies. Would appreciate keyboard navigation so I don't need to click \"play again\" :)","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":1169898,"author_name":"LDJam user 304226","author_uid":"304226","epoch":1759878484,"text":"Really nice, cool arcade bullet hell, really really well done music, it felt like it's dynamic and I can't tell if it is or not, but doesn't matter, it's just really good.

I like the core loop, I would try to find a way to better handle acceleration because it can feel a bit dissatisfactory to lose because you stopped to avoid a node then you couldn't accelerate fast enough to avoid another one.
