### 1/5 — ねえ？

*2019-06-09, version 1.0.2*

こんなゲーム作っておいて「なんでシューティングゲームは廃れるんや…」とか業界の人は頭抱えてるの？
なんで廃れるか分かんないの？
頭大丈夫？

### 3/5 — 当たり判定ハッキリしてくれ

*2018-03-15, version 1.0.2*

残機が1なのもミスすると最初に戻されるのも構わないが
当たり判定が目に見えないのはキツい
なんとなくで避けるのは辛いなぁって…

### 4/5 — 面白い

*2016-07-18, version 1.0.2*

ですがぶっちゃけ超玄人向けな気がします。ミスは許されない、残機1固定、弾消しできない(？)などなど。逆にこれできるようになったら大抵のシューティングはいいとこまで行けるようになるのではないでしょうか。

### 1/5 — つまんない

*2016-05-26, version 1.0.2*

面白くもない。くだらない。1未満にしたいぐらい。すぐ死ぬし、難易度変えたら？

### 5/5 — あの、色々武器追加して下さい

*2015-11-11, version 1.0.2*

コインとかも(てきを倒した時に出るコイン)
このゲーム面白いです

### 4/5 — むず…

*2015-08-10, version 1.0.2*

確かに難しすぎるけどクリア不可ではないし、その分クリアできた時が嬉しいので星4
残機システム導入したら星5ですね

### 1/5 — 難易度下げろ

*2015-07-29, version 1.0.1*

初めからラスボスみてえなもんだろコレ

### 1/5 — 死ねくそ

*2015-07-18, version 1.0.1*

死ぬ、くたばれクソゲーが
これ作った奴くたばれ

### 4/5 — 面白いけど…

*2015-05-10, version 1.0.0*

武器が変わるシステムも面白いし、地形パターンで殺しに来る＋適度な弾幕っていうのもいいのですが、残機制は導入した方がいいと思います。

一撃で死んで最初からになるのは、いくら面白くてもやる気なくします…

### 1/5 — 残念

*2015-04-01, version 1.0.0*

一機死んだだけでまた最初からやらなきゃいけないのはめんどくさすぎるし、やる気しなくなる。
