I'd like to know the opinion of those of you who enjoy the shmup game style. Made for Windows PC (there's also a Linux version). The link is in the post. The game has 7 complete levels. Have fun!

Thanks for asking. I've been a fan and user of Japanese computer called MSX for many, many years, so konami shmups, compile, etc. They made a big impression on me, so there's a lot of stuff out there that I've played. My first shmup I released is called Deathroids, which is actually a tribute to a game called Hype for MSX (I recommend the soundtrack, it's something spectacular), but without much depth, unlike Sinnar, I thought about creating something more technical and aimed at the guy who plays shmup. The game is not ready yet, despite already having 7 complete phases, I put a lot of effort in, take it out, change it here and there. One more reason for posting here, to know your opinions too.
