MASTERS: I posted that review!
MASTERS: Have you read the review yet?

So, to offer belated reply at such a time as I am, you know, awake (which I tend not to be at 3am GMT), yes. Yes I have.
Happily, it’s a game I’ve been watching for a while. As I am the authoritative voice around here on scrolling shooters, I’m often interested when developers manage to break the old, old shmup conventions, which this games does and you cover well. It even does them well with the ability to warp between two screens. It would have been easy for you to just ride this innovation to the end of the review, but it’s tempered well with lowered expectations when it comes to level choice and design. I’ll probably still end up with a copy of this game some when down the road (it’s the curse of being the one everyone looks to forindie adventure horror weird shit shooter opinion, I guess….) but I know what I’m getting into now clearly.
Capitalising the g in gimmick was pretty clever, too.
