First of all. Graphics. Top notch. The whole game just looks beautiful. Scrolling backgrounds, the enemies, the characters, everything. Obviously a lot of care has been taken to make everything look this good.

Gameplay. As a shmup, it's pretty simple. Shoot crap repeatedly to kill it and get to the end of the level. But it goes way beyond that. Yes. You have levels. Starting off at level 1. You have a pretty crappy amount of Bomb Power. As you level up, your bomb power increases, enabling you to use more bombs without needing to refill your BP. Also, the bomb's power actually does increase too the higher up you have your BP. Increasing your level has another function. At higher levels, you can carry more items. Say at level8ish. You can carry 4 of everything. Hit level 10. You can carry 5 of everything. On top of that. There are 6 different types of weaponary. 5 able to level up themselves through pickups to their level 3 form. The 6 projectiles are.....
Normalu
Straight forward projectiles. They fire straight forward pretty quickly. Not that powerful. Can't level up.

Fire
Level 1
Much like Normalu, fires straight forward quickly, stronger than Normalu.

Level 2
Fires in front of you and behind. ------O------- Like that. Same strength and speed as Level 1.

Level 3
Fire's final level. Same as level 2 with an addition of 2 more directions. Diagonally up and down

Leafu
Level 1
Leaf, or grass. It fires two bolts intertwined straight forwards. Stronger than Normalu. Slower than Normalu.

Level 2
Now has turned into a large green arc. Fires straight forward, stronger than level 1. Slight faster than level 1.

Level 3
Same as Level 2, except now you have a little green orb with you that fires the same projectiles.

Wind
Level 1
Sorta like Fire's level 3. Except it doesn't fire straight forwards or backwards. Only does the diagonals. Same speed as normalu.

Level 2
Geez..... I can't define a shape for this. It's projectiles basically fire mentally in front of you, spanning about a quarter to half of the screen in front.

Level 3
Same as above. With the addition of two large versions of the wind projectiles (Dude, I always think they look like toenails for some reason) spin around you in a sort of shield. Doesn't protect you from damage but it does damage anything that gets hit by it.

Stormu
Level 1
This is the strongest and slowest line of projectiles. Fires a hunk of earth straight forwards that explodes on contact.

Level 2
Same as above. Except the hunk of earth exploding now releases a tiny shower of stones, these stones do damage too.

Level 3
Same as above. Except, forget the tiny shower, it's a big shower.

Laser
Level 1
Basically it's water. Fires straight forwards. Penetrates through enemies to the ones behind too. Kind of weak.

Level 2
Same as above with the addition of two extra lasers that home in on enemies.

Level 3
Same as above. Amount of homing lasers has increased to four.

Now, each enemy has their own weaknesses and strengths to the elements. If they're strong against it, it'll do less damage with each hit. (Goddamn it when you've only got water and normal left and they're strong against water >.<) If they're weak against it, it'll do more damage to them. It's a good system. The actual levels, they can be a complete beeyatch to complete. I forgot to mention when you kill an enemy they drop coins didn't I? Pick up coins and you can buy items from the shop, like new lives or shields, bombs or even weapon level ups. Well, these enemies drop coins. And sometimes there's lots of enemies...... firing lots of bullets....... yeah. The screen can get pretty hectic at times but it's awesome fun.

Bosses. Now, their attack pattern is pretty easy to figure out. Yeah...... now, managing to exploit that attack pattern to avoid all their attacks, that's a completely different story. Some have big ass lasers that WILL hit you if you're not quick enough to realize they're about to shoot it.

Levels. Only problem is that there isn't many. 5 element based levels. The forest level you can always play and the last level where you escape from the mansion. Totalling 7 levels of fun. Pretty short but it can consume you for a good few hours. They all have great looking backgrounds <3

There are 3 difficulties too. Easy, Medium and Hard. Enemies HP is bumped up each difficulty level. It also takes a bit longer to level up.

All in all. It's a good little game.
