Impossible.

This game would be alright if it weren't for the impossible difficulty.

Now I've beaten Gradius V in one life, so I'm not bad a SHMUPs at all. In fact, it's my favorite genre of video game. I made it a few stages past the second boss, and I couldn't advance any farther. Maybe I just need to practice a bit more, but I thought it was way too hard for a number of reasons:

The amount of bullets is staggering. Not only that, but they move way to quickly for you to dodge. If that isn't enough, your hit-box is the entire ship! The game is basically forcing you to get hit. That's just stupid right there.

Also, your main weapon just sucks. If you're going to have that many enemies shooting that much, at least ad a couple kick-ass weapons for us to use.

Other than the insane difficulty, the graphics were pretty good. Music was good as well, if a bit monotonous at times.

Try playing some other SHMUPs like Gradius, R-type, or Radiant Silvergun and see how they did it and how you could improve your game.

I'm not sure how the fact that the hit zone covering the whole ship is a problem... It's what made sense to me. I admit that the few levels following a boss can be harsh. I'll look up those games you mentioned and consider a difficulty setting for my next projects. Thanks for the review
