Game beaten!
Difficulty: Easy

I originally intended to beat the game on Normal, but because of how euroshmup game design like this, it made the game hard for all the wrong reasons. I end up playing and beating it on Easy on every single episode. On higher difficulties, the enemy is HP increased (which is downright lazy and terrible idea) and obstacles kills you in one hit (on easy, you can take damage, but on other difficulties you can't). Like most euroshmups, you're internally under-powered in which the game encourages you to buy power-ups from the store. And to top things off, you have inertia which makes your movement feel laggy (unresponsive) as hell, plus the frame rate is not a smooth 60 FPS due to constant drops in many places. Truly a travesty of shmup genre. At least it's freeware though.

I forgot what day I started playing though. I'm not sure if my playtime is accurate, but this is all recorded from my playtime on Steam.

Freeware game; formerly commercial product
