Phew, managed to make it in 11 days with one day to spare. Then I just realized that the BotD didn't have a difficulty restriction. Darn it!

One problem: I actually prefer keyboard control to mouse control in games where the ship has a maximum speed (because it feels kind of laggy to me). However, I went with mouse controls because the game said "recommended". After my first run, I tried to go back and change the control scheme, but I couldn't change it without reloading the page and losing my progress :(

This is a very pretty, very well-designed shoot-'em-up. No pretensions, no extraneous junk, just get out there, go as far as you can, get stronger, repeat until you're powerful enough to triumph. Upgrades are *very* powerful and make a *big* difference, something that's far too rare in these games. Gets busy near the end but never to an impossible degree. What can I say... big like! (Can "shooting 101" be a tag along with "platforming 101"? :-) ) 4/5

I was thinking of loading up touhou to sharpen my skills, then I noticed the patterns. I guess it was a frame of mind to see them.

I used to think that I lacked skill to avoid all those bullets, that I was too slow to ever beat the 10th boss. And then I bought additional bullet upgrade level 6.

Captain! Our money is leaking out! We must turn around! NO!Let's keep throwing these red bombs that shoot in five separate directions and hope that this omniscient ship won't dodge them!

I thought: "That's going to be the hardest medium badge to obtain...How the heck am I going to beat this in 12 tries if I'm already at day 8 and haven't even faced the last boss?" Then, I bought the final bullet upgrade.
