What I've learned: 1) every effort to avoid getting shot will immediately result in getting shot. The slower the shot, the more certain this consequence. 2) avoid the center of the field; larger enemies spawn there. 3) yeah, the controls are weird, but if the rotating thing doesn't work for you, just intermittently hold 'w' and lock onto the nearest enemy; works well enough.

Whoa! The Exca series weapons pwn. It's a pity that by the time you get them and the Loki AMU, there's not really much left to do with all that superfirepower. There should be a sandbox mode...

for everybody complaining about level ten: stay still! the turrets cannot hurt you when you are not moving! just sit there and take out all the reinforcements before destroying the turrets. you can just sit there in the middle of the fire and refill your overdrive by not doing anything! (+ this so everybody knows!)

Fun but kinda frustrating when you accidentally move your mouse or click outside the play area and crash into things.

stops the action every time got hit to show chain, irritating, mouse escapes from game area, irritating, i like japans but hate this theme, irritating, this game is just irritating.

Games which require mouse movement and punish you for holding the mouse button down non-stop *need* fullscreen mode to avoid the all too easy situation where you click on something just outside the game area while trying to dodge.

i don't know if it's just me or what but if i move the mouse too fast the game freezes up for a second or two and i literally just get wailed on for a few seconds for no reason. and the fact that during really hectic levels, every time you get hit the action stops, is very very VERY annoying.

If anyone is trying to farm money, by the time you get to level 14 or so, you can gain 5000 gold every time for a chain break of over 150K.

really creative, amazing first effort id say. This kinda game has got some GREAT potential but its got numerous problems that makes it fall short of a 5 star. The mechanics are great but control is difficult, its hard to even read stuff. Gets repetitive too. If it was made into a type of side scrolling shooter maybe.

This game could have been great...but it falls short because of the aiming...I've never seen more atrocious aiming and in a bullet hell game having bad aim does not work...

the evasion card does not say that i cant get hit, just say complete 1 act with full health so i made that with AMU 2 and used the special at the end of any act

there should be a correction on how to get one of the achievements, you don't have to beat a level without getting hit, just beat a level with 100% shields, it will count even if you get hit and regenerated your shields (I got hit multiple times in stage 17, and still got it)

Odin's special isn't damage + heal, it's damage + *INVINCIBILITY* while active. So to beat Loki easily: get Excalibur (beat 19 with Lightknife... and Odin), and equip it.
Fight normally (strafe slowly), but when you get hit, or if you use the special, see the blue invincibility shield? Fly RIGHT IN FRONT OF Loki and fire full-blast. Once it wears off you'll get hit right again... but it's fine, you'll have racked up 200k so hello +50% special. Rinse and repeat.

Enemies that spawn on top of you, an enormous hitbox for a bullet hell, sluggish movement controls, what's not to love? /s

If you beat Loki you get his AMU, it has AMU 1's and 3's overdrive and awesomely high attack. (With Arajuna's Bow i can do over 4000 damage each hit with Loki) But by then there's no reason to play anymore...Derp

A-and, it's nice to see once in a while a boss that's not your generic oversized moronic brute. 5/5 even if the game is not memorable enough for that.

Find myself ignoring offset and just adjusting my position instead. This game asks the player to give extra effort to use the complicated targeting system which makes the difficulty at times feel artificial. Most games of this type force you to compensate for enemy movement on the fly with fluid shot control which comes naturally. Would be nice if the environment felt larger, but I do like most aspects of the game. Oh and it would be nice if ships being plopped down on you map didn't kill your combo when they land on you its as if you are expected to only do well when you memorize the level timing and ship spawning.

A couple people have complained about the movements system, and I have to admit, it confused me for a little while, too. But then I beat the first level, and realized that the movement config might just be a good choice. 5/5, this game is great.

Missiles. Aiming is the hardest part of the game, so why struggle to line up a shot when missiles do it for you? Learn from my suffering, friends: go with missiles.

For each of the "Hardest" Challenges in the game there's a different solution actually, you start by doing 19 with the lightknife using Heimdall, focus on survival and just don't bother with aiming, you'll outlast them if you use special all the time, it's a matter of brute force. for 20, use Valkrie with your new Excalibur, Miu's first form is easy to dodge, just keep moving on the first half and move slowly on the second, then use Valkyrie's overdrive to take out both Miu's side turrets, the main gun is a joke without them herding you. For loki, it's just a matter of brute force again, using odin and excalibur, chain overdrives into eachother and keep moving rapidly around the screen.

Loki is so much easier than the final box after you get the Odin. Good game and very unique controls but you get used to them pretty quick.

Really nice game. Looks great and gives a good challenge. I would like it better if we can choose between mouse and keyboard or keyboard only. Kind of hard to play on the laptop without a mouse. Also for the target system, maybe a little more option like change to lowest health enemy or something like that.

The moment I heard the boss theme, I was launched onto an internet-wide search for half an hour, because I was *certain* I had heard it before. Finally, I found it-Fandrey, the guy who apparently made your music, used it as the theme to a short bullet hell called Dirgantara-first phase. It's been remixed, to be sure (dunno which came first, this or that), but it was really fun to hear the tune again. Then I realized that one of the devs, Altierlucid, has it up on his Kong account and I had a blast playing it again. Thanks fo that!

Control is a bit awkward, really need autofire and don't move to mouse pointer option (only use mouse to aim, not moving).

Virozui, it's right where you'd expect it to be. Under Configuration (A.K.A. options.) The only real flaw I see, is the ridiculous font the developer/programmer decided to use. I can't tell what some of the letters and numbers are with how screwed up the text looks. Why can't people just use BASIC fonts? No, we have to have the curly crap or the warped digital crap that's almost painful to try and read.
