A throwback/retro inspired shmup (space shooter game) with a YM2612 based soundtrack. Aiming for the home console experience from the 90's. Heavily influenced by the Thunder Force series, but also take notes on other games like Life Force/Salamander in the sense that levels are both horizontal and vertical. There is also a parry function in which you can absorb the smaller enemy bullets.

Two bugs: (fixed. see next comment)

1) If you don't continue and start a new game at the Title Screen, you'll have 0 lives. If you die, the game will still go on.
Fix this by just visiting the Options screen and a script will reset it to what your preference is.
2) Continuing on Level 2 does not reset your weapons back to 0.

Both of these will be fixed in the 222 beta.

The 222 beta will only be bug fixes as I am moving on to making level 3.
