Really liked the writing of the dialogue.
The elemental harvesting felt a bit too chaotic for me to feel like I really had an opportunity to strategize on what I want to pick up and in what order. The core loop idea of having to move around to both evade attacks and harvest your own is really good though! Maybe a way to reorder your stored elementals would help?
Having all the elemental types available from the start also made it hard to really get a feel for the differences between all the kinds of shots available.
Overall though the direction and gameplay are very good.
