Thanks for hosting. I probably put 20 hours into this game this month and my sons (and youngest daughter) another 30+ themselves.

I think this game is such a perfect explainer for anyone interested in the genre. It has rank, it punishes you for not bombing, it has scoring but it's not complicated and there risk in trying it, it has boss-milking but not overdone, it has hidden items but again come with risk, it has 6 fully unique characters that play completely differently, it really is on the border of a perfect game. I'm really glad it was selected and I was reminded what a gem it is.

Well said, and I agree 100%. I'm glad that your kids enjoyed it as much as you did - raising the next generation of shmuppers right!
