Really fun! Coulda used some explanation stuff, but time constraints'll do that. Got to the end, ending cutscene was absolutely adorable. A good time to have!
The art is really well done! The gameplay is fun, all the different wave patterns provided nice variety in the challenge. Just wish I could have seen the moon!
Thanks for the feedback, everyone. We will come back to patch the game up some more in the upcoming days; we had damage animations for the balloon and everything but the deadline got us!
Speaking of patching, as of v0.01b there is a bug where running out of fuel in the ending will cause you to "die" during it, so for now please get there with enough spare fuel!
The gameplay here is a bit underrated. The gameplay actually has a pretty good innovation in the grab mechanic. Usually shmups are all about positioning and well, shooting, but in this game you have to weave in the grab as well. So when you see a wave, you pay attention to when and where you can grab and stop shooting to pull it off. Very cool mechanic, it lets it stand out quite a bit in the genre. You also put a good amount of effort into making the waves interesting as well. Solid entry overall!

What I missed the most was better feedback when you take damage.
