Hi everyone and thanks for all your comments!
Bullets do look quite small, but some of that I would attribute to the video because on the big screen they do look much bigger.
I'm sorry, I don't want ot be rude or harsh
But they look small because THEY ARE way too small, a big screen won't them look bigger. The hit box could be that size if you want, but the physical look of it, should be at least twice or three times bigger. I mean it, I'm like very serious, and every shmup player would say the same, I promise

The background had to be hidden by the clouds, because it was distracting and was stealing focus. Not practical for gameplay.
IF the bullets were a lot bigger (amd maybe more visible color as well) you would not have to hide your nice background with coulds in order to make the game readable and easy to play. Again, believe me, making them a lot bigger and a clever choice of colors that does not conflic with the back ground color would make it A LOT NICER in every possible way : visibility, gameplay, design.

As for speed, it's not fast in the sense that everything doesn't happen in turbo-speed (I see the point). However, it does require good reflexes, and it's not casual, so that's where I was going with that. Enemies do move a bit slowly, but but the dodging and trying to get all popcorn and as soon as possible is what makes it more speedy.
I'm gonna repeat myself again, but this bulllet speed is like for my grand-ma
It's turtle-slow. A beginer would be able to clear the game with such a slow speed at first credit. Well, actually no, because they are so small small and nearly invisible that you could crash on it, even at such slow speed, not because of bad reflexes, but because of microscope you have to use to see them
I'm not a programmer or game designer, but
i'm a player that
knows what other players wants and do not want.
I'm seriously giving you good advice, I hope I do not sound too mean
On another side, I guess it's a matter of choice and taste, but I do feel that the music is kinda not appropriate ? If it has to be sort of rock/metal, it should be a lot faster and more energetic, this is kind of slow (just like the bullets) and therefor it feels even MORE slow. More energy in the music ! I do believe that music is like 50% of the game.
Et voila
