Awesome shmup, really great!

The issues I have with it so far, are, though, that the game is a bit lacking readability. It took me forever to find out where my amount of bombs is shown and what the bar on the left means (which means, I was not making calculated strategic decisions, but often just hoped for the best when pressing 'x').

I didn't understand at all what the green boxes are, but collected them anyway.

Also, giving the key binding away in the game itself is always a good idea (and be it as a simple display on the menu screen).

But I really enjoyed the playthrough, great job!

Thanks for the comment.

The green boxes are crystals. Gathering enough of them powers up your shot.

sounds of death and enemy's shots are very high. pls fix it
