Like this comment if you think this game is not only BAD ASS but also epic and awesome with the music and rhythm matching and also if you danced your ship around to the beat as much as WASD would allow you to! Two thumbs way way up to the Developer of this amazing game. Please make a sequel if you haven't already!

Yeah, Lvl 5 suffers a sudden difficulty spike, but just some hints:
-There is enough bullets that you can almost perpetually slow time, use it to understand the pattern an formulate your strats
-It's a rhythm game, so listen to the music and "dance" with it! Every song has ups and downs in the beat, shoot while it's low, slow time when it's high
-you have levels, which will give you extra lifes and more damage, grind a little
-You can slow time and shoot at the same time, if you can't see gaps to shoot, do it while you're precise dodging!
Hope I helped ;)

I'm not a fan of the carnival music the game used during the levels nor was the "rhythm" aspect even noticeable. The music that played at the main menu would have been better than that sound travesty that should be left at the carnival instead of being used as the level music. The effect the time slow had on the music made it even worse like playing carnival music on a record player at half speed.

So the game loaded in half a second. Typically, you play a side game if you have to wait for the game to load, not the tutorial. I'm sure there will be plenty of people wanting to vote this down, but it's less confusing to have the tutorial "in" the game instead of a side attraction.

Too many lasers that CONSTANTLY push you towards the edge of the screen. Keyboard-only controls and tight maneuvers do NOT go well together. The "lives" system is poorly thought out - in later levels, I'm pretty much stuck with a single life. About the only thing this game has going for it is the music, which can't save it from the flaws.

I like the fresh idea, but difficult rates are really inaccurate. And it would be really, REALLY nice to be able to play with the mouse.

It's already bad enough that I have to graze to earn energy for slow and bullets, why would you make the grazing field a blinking one instead of a constant field?

Vela 5 rated 1.5 stars??? Try more like fighting Dracula in I Wanna Be The Guy! How is anyone supposed to even remotely dodge the bullets when they form a solid line across the entire screen???

Please, please add some option to stop the entire screen from flashing bright colours. It might just be me, but it kind of hurts to stare at something that is flashing.

Whenever you are like "Why is the difficulty spike sooooooooo huge" then you realize you are playing the level 3 levels ahead of the chronological level and you wont quit because you are mad by then.

Nice game, but here's a bit of an advice from me : in a good bullet hell game, there shouldn't be ANYTHING that fires STRAIGHT on you. Got it?

Many people complained about the difficulty of the laser levels. Honestly, I always felt relieved whenever I saw them, thinking of them as the easier levels. What are you all doing on the laser levels? Do you see a laser under you, and you think, "Egads! Lazorzz!", and start flying all over the screen, only to bump into other lasers?
Since they generally spawn immediately under you, all what it takes is a gentle side-step with one or two taps, and they won't hit you. And if you need to pass through one, then it is as simple as those platformers which require you to wait for a repeating trap to disarm itself, then pass through.

Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed this game! I love bullet hell games, and I love rhythm games. This was a wonderful execution of both.

Music. Is. Tight! All of the bosses were awesome and unique. Number 16 was a real pain, probably couldn't have done it without the jukebox and even then it took me a couple different songs.

Cellar Door, you make great games, but come on. I can't beat level 5. LEVEL FIVE. I want to enjoy this like Rogue Legacy (I have it open right now) but this difficulty curve is killing me. I don't mean any offense, however, as it's still a well made game.

It's a sweet sweet moment when you learn that a perfect run is awarded for not being hit at all, but for not losing any ships.

Thirty minutes in, I'm still getting ruined on stage five; Whelp. I can offically call this quits. Great game though, Fantastic synergy of musical beats vs reaction timing vs movement efficiency. A regular and perfect bullet hell game if ever there was one. 5/5 for me.

tip for 12: there are certain safe spots that the small bullets do not hit. use X to find them and stay around the general area for the period of time :3 just dodge the big ones
