STARFISH!!
I wasn’t sure how much I was going to get into this, but I was fully engrossed by the second stage. Those fireballs kept me on my toes.
And then I met the Starfish…
Visually the bird is a little shy of charm. It feels just a little too much like a prop or random shape I am controlling. It didn’t really sell me on the bird fantasy.
But I thought the fireballs, falling spikes, backgrounds, starfish and sea creatures all looked fantastic.
What really sold me on this was the gameplay. The controller felt pretty tight which made it possible for me to survive as long as I did. But the spawn logic never felt like it was handicapped for a bullet hell lightweight like myself.
Really solid game overall.
