### 5/5 — 最高に楽しい、一つ要望

*2024-07-06, version 1.3.1*

はい、最高に楽しいです。爽快感がありますしデザインもかなり好きです。 スコア900億までやり込みました。 しかし。アップグレードの厳選がきつい！ リコイルガンナー(同社の別ゲー)では金でアップグレードの再抽選ができたのにこっちではできない。特にファストショット機体の厳選がきつい。 もう課金のプレミアアカウントみたいなものでもいいから再抽選させてくださいお願いします。まじでこのゲームめっちゃ好きなんですでも厳選が辛くてやめちゃうんですよ！まじでそこだけなんです一部のアップグレードの確率上げるシステムでも再抽選でもなんでも良いので厳選難易度を何卒お願いします！めっちゃ簡素でも良いんです！よろしくおねがいします！
