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 I wasn't sure what the smaller button does

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 The weapons — do you choose, or just collect?

You carry up to three. The same type again makes it stronger; a new one pushes out your weakest. Each drop shows its colour and short name.

I fly towards the one I want I grab whatever comes along I couldn't tell what changed when I picked one up I didn't notice there were different weapons

6 How are the boss fights?

Especially the shielded ones (BULWARK, WARDEN) — both were changed so that waiting is never the best move.

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

7 Did you open RANKS on the title screen?

There are worldwide boards now. They need a Play Games sign-in — if that failed for you, this is the box that tells me.

Yes — I saw the world list Yes, but only my own top 10 The Play Games sign-in didn't work I never opened it

8 How do you like the sound?

Music

Fits the game Doesn't fit I turned it off

Boss music

I noticed it changes when a boss shows up I never noticed a change I played without music

Sound effects

Satisfying Fine Annoying

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

Rough notes are perfect.
