There's a looney tunes cartoon where Sylvester is attempting to fire a musket at Tweety Bird. It misfires in some fashion and launches him into the sky, and as he's walking down the stairs back down to his target, he's getting the order right in his head. "First the powder, then the charge, then the wad." Inevitably he fails, shoots himself back into the attic, and then thinks of a different order of actions on his way back to the bird.

The genius of this game is not in the mechanics. Mechanically it's a pretty good starter shmup. The genius is how they handle progression, and how they grow the possibilities of what the player can do BECAUSE they failed. It's a complete inversion of coin-op arcade mechanics, where failure gives instead of takes, and in a world where shmups have struggled to find hooks outside of long term fans, this is an absolutely killer idea.
