When I first started to play this game it was pretty confusing and I died all of the time even on easy mode but this is a game that you can keep playing and keep improving at and it has such incredible presentation and game design. I think with how this game works on easy mode vs normal and the scoring system combined with the enemy and bullet patterns this might be the closest thing I have ever seen to perfection in game design. I still after all these years have never had time to fully master the game. I am proud to report that I have managed to get to level 4 on one continue though.
