I agree. Shitty review? Whatever. Sucks that people are basing their opinions on it, but such is life.

Got to 6.0/7.0 today after a few 6.2/7.2 runs. Unlocked Leo. Next up is 6.1 and Leo II. Pink/Orange/Green lead to 6.0/6.1/6.2 respectively. The grey orb in 5.0 seems to be random? My first run, I didn't collect any and that brought me to 6.2 as well. (Maybe that's random too?) Genuinely hoping the grey one has some other significance for a later update. Was also hoping for something like 3.5 when flying w/ Cross The Rubicon. Just wishful thinking. 1.0's non-icy stage on R-Typer difficulty (not sure which) is a cool alteration.
Does anyone know the full post-launch plans? Dunno if they're reliant upon sales or not. (in which case, I hope 'crappy review dude' doesn't sway too many away). DLC seems to cover extra stages but I am just looking forward to all 101 ships. I still can't believe we're all doing this again all these years later. Particularly as Final 1 was overwhelmingly disliked. Love looking at all these user names with a "joined" date of 2005. Then I realize I'm 45 and played R-Type in the arcades a lifetime ago. Love this forum. (/drunken friday-night feels)
Oh...started to put together a tree list w/ images. See how long this takes me.
