I didn't beat this one but I did play several levels. Its a good semi-bullet-hell type shooter but doesn't go super Cave shooter style. The screen definitely gets busy though. My biggest issue was I just couldn't find a weapon that I really liked. They all had their positives but every time I felt like it was the wrong one for the situation... maybe that was intentional but it just frustrated me. I'll probably play it again though and certainly will check out the rest in the series because it was fun enough and looked great.
