I most certainly want to play this game but never found the time to do so. It looks like a very cool system. Congratulations on your high score👍

[@Majora_T]

Thank you! And agreed! I'd recommend finding some time for it. The game is five stages long.

awesome i will be referencing this when i do my playthrough. Been struggling with the second boss LOL

[@Majora_T]

You'll get the hang of it. Have fun!

the hardest part for me is knowing when to switch to the opposite color and this game does a good job at being a brain teaser in the sense that you have to pay attention to the bullets but also the color of your ship and whats coming at you and its not as easy as you think it would be. but as we all know that is what makes this game different from other shoot'em ups and its fun. i can say say the score is the least of my worries for these games

Smart way to play. Some points (stage 3 boss, I'm looking at you) require it to preserve your lives.

I don't have the patience to invest a ton of time into getting good at videogames like this.

[@Majora_T]

I get it. Fortunately, Ikaruga is only a 25-ish minute game start to finish. Plus you can practice individual stages. It just depends how good you want that determines how time-abusive the process ends up being.
