it's about 3 stages deep into P&R when I was second guessing how much I really wanted to keep playing it. I decided I'm too tough of a Gamer to consider giving it up. built differently. perhaps incorrectly.

either way, seeing P&R through to the end was pretty damn cathartic. successfully diving to safety 25% of the time, then into a hazard/wall or entirely off the stage the other 75%. forgetting to deflect while trying to shoot everything before everything kills me. accidentally picking up the wrong power-up and having my weapon reset to level 1 near the end of the stage. manically tapping the d-pad to perfectly position myself to attack before realizing the boss had already started making its move.

after coming down from the high of finishing it, I think I'd actually say it's almost equal parts fun and frustrating. love the presentation. it's cute. I'm a sucker for yokai stuff. that difficulty left me mollywhopped though. good game.
