Survival is too much randomized IMHO. The bonus level gives a wide variety of enemies, but some only stay on screen very short, sometimes travelling a bit from the edge and back off the edge. Also, the amount of money dropped (only 200 or 1000 bills) is quite random, making from 35k to 66k range with quite good skills. The main survival waves are too random also. Sometimes second or third wave and the screen is full of bullets, when another time the fourth starts to get difficult. The rest of the game is great :)

This keeps losing my progress... It's very frustrating to have to go through frantic mode once for every attempt at the kamikaze badge... (partial loss only, it blocks "survival" but keeps the rest)

Also I find that rockets actually work best in survival because they do a LOT of dmg and you don't need to be near the enemy for it to be effective, unlike electric. Lasers don't pump out nearly as much.

oh I didn't see the guide lol because I didn't think about additional instructions until I started playing survival. It would be nice to have it on the main menu though.

Personally, I don't care for the music, and this to me feels like a generic bullet hell on Kong with some added annoyances; It's never explained why at certain times you can suck up bullets (either just because, or sometimes they heal you!), which powerups do what, and the fact that bullets come in multiple colors make it harder to separate the powerups from them. This is almost a game where it's better to be colorblind...

Ran into an interesting glitch. For some reason I stopped moving along with the background, but the enemy waves already out kept coming. I kept shooting and every ship I killed just froze in front of me. I ended up with a line of ships in front of me and kept shooting them for multiplier and score. Right now my multiplier is about 25,000 and keeps increasing. The score goes up to about 2.2 billion, then decreases by the amount it should increase back to zero, then back up, in a never ending cycle. I can pause, but unpausing just goes back to the glitch. Anyway, entertaining, but I'm gonna restart...

Seems to me a little to easy. And confusing, with power ups coloured and bullets in the same colour. Not really an inspiring game.

An excellent bullet hell. There's one significant oversight: the cursor is very small and when it moves out of the game window, the ship kamikazes to the top left.

Frantic 2?
Sounds fun. And it is.
I especially like how you can scrap bullets and weave through little holes between them.
Not the mention the fact that I play Touhou
So, Frantic 2 is basically easy to master for me. ;)
