I have a strange crush on this game

I've owned this game since it was originally released on the Xbox 360 years ago and have put dozens of hours into it. A simple, straight forward shoot em up with less focus on bullet hell/crazy scoring and more reflex, rapid fire decision making. Two shot types and a shield are your entire arsenal and you have to flip between them to defend yourself, it's quick and very frantic but never unfair. The alien worlds/ships you encounter the further you go and the crafty use of perspective alterations really give a sense of speed and wonder. Enjoyable, challenging and doesn't overstay it's welcome. Fantastic shmup.
