See, this is how you do a SHMUP. Almost. Darius' only weakness was powerups seemed few and far between while not contributing enough to the game. Salamander gives you powerups when you chain enemies together. Which means that once you get all the powerups that make you blast through the entire game in one button, then the powerups get easier and easier to get. But when you lose them, they're almost impossible to pick up again and you're stuck in a bullet hell with only your single blaster. Kinda sucks.
But overall? Amazing. Loving where these SHMUPS are going. Seems sad that the SHMUP genre becomes nieche after a while. Wonder where these games will end up though?
