Super snappy and gets right into the action! Feels like the beginning of the stages were the hardest part. Once you survive that initial onslaught and get some upgrades, the rest of the level kind of feels trivial in comparison. Granted, I still died halfway through level 2, so it's not like it's easy, haha. Think that something that would have been nice would be being able to refresh my shields while I still had some. I would have them both on red health just tanking hits so I could use up the points I got. Though I suppose if you could do that, you'd really have a lot of leeway, since as it stands now you at least are vulnerable as they fly into the screen. Also, wish there was a little something after you die, felt a bit weird having things just sort of go on indefinitely until you hit R. Art and music and stuff was really nice so hopefully at some point I'll be good enough to see the rest of the stages.
