This is great, slightly interactive story. I can't really count this as a game.
Choices you make in dialogue doesn't matter, the story and quests are fixed. Quest/fight results doesn't matter, you will continue forward in story even if you lose. Thus the upgrading, power increasing and crafting items doesn't really matter either.
There is zero skill or luck element that matters. Game is predetermined from beginning to the end, or so it seems. And you can basically pay real money to to continue faster than others.
Theme, graphics, over all look&feel are awesome and deserve a mentioning.
Almost OK game, but mostly horribly annoying. Fast paced dodging in a small space. Small lag on mouse or cursor out of bounds and you are dead. Bosses were more about luck and very little on dexterity or skill.
Horrible commands. Move is left+right+A, fighting is down+S, interaction is up+D+Q+1+2+3. And you need mouse too. Group the keys in more logical way so you don't need 2 hands for every single task. Drop the mouse out all together. Nice cartoon look and sounds, those are a plus.
Fantastic game, very unique and well done! Speed of the ship should match the speed of the bullets. In those stages where you are supposed to move rhythmically between waves of bullets, it gets too hard when you can't control the ship purely on beat.
