Solid vertical shoot em up with good visuals, music, and for most boss designs. You have a main shot and can pick up a few different kinds of weapons, two kinds of homing shots, a more forward focused shot, and one that shoot out on on the sides. You can also pick up one of two modules, one gives you a bomb to detonate while the other gives you attachments to the ship sides that might shoot based on your weapon and allow you to hold secondary fire for a massive speed boost. Dying resets you at a previous checkpoint where you can usual grab an upgrade again, it's not a huge setback as there are no weapon upgrades, shields, bomb stockpiles, etc. Base enemies can be very easy to get through and once parts on bosses are destroyed their are some that take a ridiculous amount of damage, luckily usually the ones not offering much challenge at the later points of their fights.
