I like it a lot, that it has a campaign and a endless mode... It also has settings for audio. Absolotely insane musoc and a vacuum clean as a bonus weapon. ;D
Thanks a lot, good work.
I almost missed the Pandora's box mechanic until I started to struggle a bit and re-read the bindings. J seems an odd key choice. There are a lot of really fun effects in there. My favourite was the swarm of bats.
The movement keys felt a bit too sensitive for precise bullet dodging.
I recommend you to make HTML export as soon as possible, it should be easy with Godot, ask me if you need some guidance, that way you'd get more votes in 2 days remaining, and good luck!

Good shmup! I didn’t try the Pandora Box at first because I thought filling it would instantly end the level — and later, I assumed that the more you filled it, the better the effect... but I guess that was just me making things up, right? 😆
One small thing: I think there should be a short cooldown before inputs are accepted on the inter-level screen, because I accidentally start almost every level by clicking too quickly.
Also, the final boss is a total HP sponge — but I managed to beat it on my first try!
The Pandora effects totally caught me off guard. Each one was a surprise, and I loved that.
(That DVD save screen one? Perfection👌)
