I found this game to be really fresh, and a lot of fun to play. Artwork, music, story and presentation were all very thoughtful and creative / top notch! Sadly, the whole thing, story and all takes about half an hour to get through, and then you are left with a bunch of challenges that take place on all the levels you have already played before. I would only recommend this game if you can get it for a few $$ or love chasing high scores and doing shmup challenges over and over. If you are more interested in the originality of the artwork, etc. that I mentioned, just go check it out on youtube during your next lunch break.
