This is fantastic. It feels like an entire genre distilled into its basic form. Very, very clever. My only criticism is that it feels like a couple of the enemies' patterns are literally unavoidable.
Great game! It is a blast to play. I thought that it was a little hard, and found that I had to take damage in order to deal damage (although maybe that's the point!). I found that almost every enemy I could kill by just sitting at the bottom of the screen without moving. And the last guy seems incredibly tough. I couldn't kill it. Great game though, really really fun.
It's a little hard to play on a Mac laptop (probably because of how the clicking works), but it was still pretty fun. I only got to level 5 or 6 though.
As somebody already said, some patterns are impossible to avoid, which makes the game a bit unfair. Having a 1 pixel hitbox for the ship would have improved the experience a lot i think
Quite challenging as it should be for a bullet hell; got about two-thirds through the enemies. There was at least one pattern that was impossible to dodge, which is not good for a bullet hell game, and the collision box felt very large (most bullet-hells I've seen usually have a tiny hit box). Despite the music being very basic I did get into it.

Exactly what it is marketed as. I would change the ship to lock to the mouses position, or hide the mouse (if possible). I found myself looking at the mouse sometimes instead of the ship.
I feel like it's a little too easy to cheat since you can just hide offscreen, but it's still a neat game. I like it! You definitely found the essence of a genre and did it well.

Nice soundtrack. And only boss enemies. Great!
In overall a very nice game.
