too repetitive, ranking up is slow and hardly gives you anything, upgrades are hardly noticeable exept for magnet and candy, and all survival is is just 50 waves of the same old same old. the final boss was easier then the normal enemies at level 5, and the boss at level 8 was harder, he actually did some impressive damage. overall it was too slow and rather inconsistant. it had great potental, but fell short of expectations, better luck next time.

the difficulty is very steep, you can breeze past some levels and suddenly you cant progress at all until you find the perfect way past an enemy or two. the rockets enemies shoot at you are next to impossible to avoid, they slow down so much they can do 360s if they dont hit the wall the moment they miss. honestly, how does it slow down so quickly without any noticeable form of brakes? hyperion is hard enough without a wall of those things chasing you.

the swarmers are useless, the sniper is easy to avoid, the tanks are slow, and the assassins are easy to spot if you actively look for them, and that first boss didnt even put up a fight. the story wasnt all that bad, but it still seemed cookie-cutter style "random space station overrun with alien experiments" and all. it seemed the weapons are all overpowered and plenty of ammo to shoot open a door with if somethings hiding on the other side. too bad the AI is so weak, seemed like a bunch of deaf, blind aliens that could only see you if you run in front of them. the swarm mode was just boring after you get the SMG or pulse rifle. the vulcan is just a SMG with an extra 20 rounds and a full second charge time before firing, and cant be upgraded, making it vastly underpowered compared to its cheaper counterpart, all in all, story mode is a good time killer and survival 'swarm' mode is boring and pointless. despite the love and care put into making this, its just too boring 2/5

"in memory of cirno, fey mage, who died on level 10. the lizardman got the best of him. his 1218 points will forever be remembered"... curse you scroll of randomness, summoning THAT when im hiding a level away from 3 necromancers and their army of medusa, witches, and spectors... all i wanted was some food... XD

my perfect build: wizard with fireball ,heal ,charm ,shadow walk, and map/fireball/clone/sleep. map will help you find items, charm will destract enemies and fireball kills them, heal will save a potion or 2, and shadow walk will get you out of tight spots, and maybe backstab someone too, magic mirror clones are weak late game, but make exellent shields in doorways giving you a few extra turns for cooldown. i have noticed that you can still target invisible enemies with fireball, that lets you track them to an extent, and the spells break if you switch them during cooldown, and i feel kinda empty without a boss battle, or even a final score, but its still a great rogue-like, 4/5 and fav

(pt 3/3) shield also seems overpowered compared to some of the other upgrades, its practically a X4 lives multiplier, and leads to "block 75% of bullets" side pods, that cover most of your front and back as well! maybe place them farther from your ship, or make the hit-box smaller. i wish i could continue after winning, or go back and get other upgrades after victory, before moving onto an endless mode or something, i dont like the progress wipe when you win, its like "thanks for playing, now get out!", reminds me of a demo or something i did like the tripy and distracting 3-D backgrounds, but it seemed like i was fighting the same 2 enemies to the same 3 BGM tracks all in all, a decent bullet hell game, 3/5 (again, extremely sorry for the spam)

(pt 1/3) (sorry for the walls of text) the 'pods' are a double edged sword, blocks bullets, low dmg, but can be confusing at times, and prevents you from grazing most of the bullets. one of the last bosses were too easy, and gave too much graze, you get an extra life every 1-3 attacks, and its rare for them to get close, the boss took so long to kill, i had 20 lives after the 1st battle with it, the "boss rush" at the end left me with a total of 50 lives at the end. another boss (the spinning guy shooting spirals) actually seemed easier to fight the more of them i was fighting at the same time, kind of odd, actually. most of my lives were lost due to enemies ramming me faster then i could kill them, and some of the upgrades are stupid, "would you like 1 weak gun/shield, or 2?, would you like a damage boost of 30%, or 60%?"

the controls are pretty bad, i can play some hard songs on the keyboard at double speed (bored outa my mind) in my room, but i cant even play easy songs on this at half speed! having the ability to change the keys would help a lot, playing with the mouse is way to slow and requires too much accuracy, you cant even hit b/#'s with the keyboard when practicing... the concept however is great, playing full songs on a full keyboard/piano and loading songs, it would make it easy to learn new songs or practice those you already know... great concept but unplayable controls 2/5

i like it a lot, however the keyboard controls are unnatural, and the fact you need to get 95% on the hardest difficulty on most of the songs to advance doesn't seem right, i could pass most of them, but unlocking the rest is next to impossible unless your willing to spend hours memorizing every button with perfect timing... i got 5 stars total before i hit a dead end, i cant even get a star on cirno's perfect math class, a song i memorized by heart way back when, making it all feel hopeless... and i really wanted to play them all, too...

wow, i got a gold for beating it in 30 days on the spot, and a warning "last day for platinum" on day 30 too, shouldn't that have ben 5 days ago? and the fear of the 1 dmg "death-traps" made me spend those 5 extra days digging around them
