1 Do you usually enjoy arcade shoot-'em-ups?

Helps me weigh everything else you say.

Yes Sometimes Not really (I played this as a favour)

2 Does the joystick go where you point?

Touch anywhere on the left half — where you put your thumb down is the centre.

Yes, all four directions feel the same It works, but the ship feels too slow Up/down and left/right feel different It fights me

3 FIRE and BOMB — right size, right place?

They were made smaller on purpose. Too small is worse than too big.

Both fine I sometimes miss FIRE I sometimes miss BOMB They cover the part of the screen I need to see

4 Can you always see the enemy shots? Yes, clearly I lose them in explosions or against the background I get hit by things I never saw

5 How are the boss fights?

Especially the shielded one (BULWARK).

Good length, good challenge They drag on — too much waiting Too hard I couldn't tell what I was supposed to do

6 How do you like the sound?

Music

Fits the game Doesn't fit I turned it off

Sound effects

Satisfying Fine Annoying

7 Anything that annoyed you, confused you, or something else?

Rough notes are perfect.

Thanks. That helps a lot!
