The biggest problem with this game (IMO)

[HardyHero]

Great graphics, cool gameplay ... you can have great fun.
But ... again I see something that is often happening and maybe the first-time developers are not attentive.
The game system uses that "continue" when you die.
Every time he dies, he restarts the phase.
It's like punishing your character in the game.
Punish YOUR CHAR is ok.
However if you die the 9 times, the game simply cancels your savegames and you have to restart the whole game from scratch.
In this way the game punishes you as a person and no longer your character.
Punish YOU is not ok.
This way the developers have turned the game itself literally into a waste of time.
All the time it was played was just trash.
It's exactly the same feeling of having the savegames files corrupted and then lost.
I think its more like a pontual problem.
But this problem just ruined totally my willingness to play.
You can put a "game over" but don't destroy the savegame!
I play using a bit of real-life time to distract, not to waste time.
I think a game should be fun.
Sometimes challenger.
But never frustrating.
Anyway, its my opinion.
Very frustrated.

And I completely agree with the article for most games...

But a Shmup is meant to be played over and over, honing your skills and getting better little by little.
Playing through a Shmup once is no more the point of the genre than roguelikes or rogue-lites.

I understood... but usually you have to restart only the level.
Not the entire game from zero.

Oh so this is where the sudden influx of "this game is not respecting player's time" comments originates from. People should start to think for themselves again, instead of being served opinions (in general).

P.s. If you die in story mode (using all 9 credits), you can just select the last unlocked stage from main menu and continue from there with fresh 9 credits again.

I did this but this way the game dont unlock the next stage.
It only allows you to play stages already unlocked.
