This game was my entry into the arcade shmups territory. I love that it's lenient to beginners, pretty much like Mushi, but still has good challenge for more experienced players.
I'm not a score player tho, I sit on a level of survival player. Scoring is so confusing to me. Soundtrack is some of the best I've heard in a shmup game. It's in my top 5 of games with best soundtrack.
