Wow, this game is like: All right, you wanna take the shield.......So I guess you're a newbie to Bullet Hell. So no double firepower, huh? Sucks to be you.

4/5 Nice game, random generated enemies, and nice background effects. Could use a little extra challenge, and maybe some more features here and there. But that's just because I like it :)

You know , i really like a lot that you can select an offensive and a defensive path , but i think instead there should have been like a shop so you can buy upgrades .... or just put on the last 3 levels upgrades that are either offensive or defensive depending of what path you selected ... and the Spiral shot is annoying and useless on both player ship or pods :( , it almost never hits any enemy unless you are close to one :|

Both levels where the ship gains the 'super redrum' feat can be merged, as it's as well on the offensive and defensive path.

If you are good at dodging bullets the boss of level 10 becomes a life-giving machine - so many bullets moving just next to your ship give an extra life every 10 or so seconds

It would be awesome if I could replay the game after I completed it with all my previous evolutions still in place, allowing for a fully evolved ship after the 4th play-through!

I wish someone would make one of these games with at least the option to have your bullets be invisible/harder to see because I find it really annoying to be trying to avoid my own bullets sometimes....

The defensive path not only had the shield, pretty much mandatory, but also had better offensive weapons then the offensive path. I found the offensive path to be unwinable, but that may have just been the particular choices I took.

Making these words at screen transparent would be great. I died a lot of times because i couldn't see if there is a bullet at "Redrum" caption.

alright huge fan of bullet hell games but have yet to have any challenge with any of the ones online take a look at the god of all bullet hell games the taohou series you should at least make a mode for people who are more lets say "intense/have no life" so that those people can not be bored at work then get excited then disapointed by another game that dosn't live up to the name bullet hell. Other then that its a great top down shooter had fun.

Gah, forgot the important bit. Why are the enemy sprites capable of destroying you just by hitting your sprite? They don't even need to hit the hitbox...

love the way you can completely alter your gameplay experience through the path you take, the music and backrounds are great and Im a huge fan of the bullet hell genre in itself, so overall it is a completely awesome game lacking an entertaining backstory, which would be okay if it had related prequels or sequels that explained the reasoning. good job on this one.

It looks like, currently, while the flash game has focus you only track mouse position while over the window. My advice is, whenever the mouse X or Y position extends beyond the boundaries of the game, set the ships X or Y position to the game boundary, rather than ignoring the mouse. Bullet hell games demand very fine position controls, I hate getting plowed because I moved my mouse cursor a little bit off of the game window

The only thing making this hard is the trippy background, the bullets flying toward you that makes you move a slightly bit hiting a enemy ship what made me have to press the overused retry button.

I got bored and my eye got tired after a few minutes. Yet, the key features of the game are interesting. A very promising game. 4/5

Mouse control is slightly jerky - forgivable.
No keyboard control - Annoying.
Redrum bar stopping me from seeing where I am precisely in a bullet hell game - Infuriating.
I can see what you've tried to do, but honestly I'd have preferred more freedom in evolution over "Oh, you picked shields? Have fun shooting that peashooter of yours" and "oh, weapon bonuses? Well you'll be firing two peashooters and I don't even know why we gave you mandatory firepower boosts with your non-firing shield balls".
3/5, has potential.

Great shooter, and even with replay value, which is fairly unique for the genre. Still, I felt that the boss that shot three long series of bullets was unbalancing - after my first encounter with him, I had something like 17 lives from grazing, so I went into the final levels not worried about anything. You might want to change bosses' attacks so they aren't quite as exploitable.

Thanks for all the feedback, I really appreciate it.
Just to answer the favourite comment ( "Why isn't the ship made out of the same stuff as the pods" ), the reason is simple. The side pods evolved after the players ship, and with the basic rules of evolution it should be better, in this case, the metal alloy used is a lot denser to be able to cope with the baddie bullets. This stronger denser metal is fine for remote pods, but wouldn't support a pilot ( It's toxic ), hence the ship not being retro-fitted with it.
( I made that up on the spot, the real reason is "It's just a game" ).

Second last level was hardest, last level I got massive lives by grazing the guy who did a rapid three-spread fire aside from spiralling.
