Quite nice. Taking the "easier" defensive path made the game almost a snooze, but it's still fun to throw yourself into a shooter like that with god-like power. On the other hand, the "harder" offensive path was a nice challenge, though not too hard, at least with mouse controls. Controls are tight enough to really "thread the needle" between shots and get in some awesome grazes. Can't imagine trying to play with keyboard. Anyway, very fun game. Cheers!

Thanks :)
The keyboard controls were only added because quite a lot of people complained about the lack of them in the original, but yeah, it should always be played with the mouse, its much better.
As to the God-like power, I always want the player to feel like the baddest thing on the screen, you should always be able to feel like you can beat anything the game can throw at you. Sometimes its fun to grind your way through power-ups so you get a sense of reward for getting them, sometimes its fun just to kick ass really early on.
Really fun, found it somewhat easy even on the "harder" path though, i think i died a total of 5 times, so havent bothered with the easy path. the large bullets you "graze" by going slightly under them, bosses you can 1 hit by suiciding.
overall a good use of an hour
Squize responds:
Yep, the whole suicide to kill the bosses was a mistake :)
I've got to fix a couple of broken medals so I'll fix that too.
Cheers.
Great game. Could use more power ups and more stages. Leaves you hanging once you finish it.
fun
The game is really good and addicting, i played for hours until e got all the challenges, the only downside that i couldnt give this straight's 5/5 is because the challenges medal got bugged, it popped out in me screen, but it doesnt display on my account, too bad... But still, great game, keep it like that!
