"Blood is constantly dribbling out of your duck head.You can't stop the blood from leaking out! But you can with the action button hold your mouth closed, building the blood up in your beak, expanding and then releasing to force your shots forward. More charge=more damage and size but also less distance, UNTIL your mouth fills up beyond bursting and blood squirts everywhere."

I've spent too much time being afraid to post my stuff on the internet. It's time to share one of my games.

Feedback, lay it on me guys. Nobody's played this game but me.
post your credit screen results.  
Is the tutorial lacking? The introduction too fast paced?
What difficulty feels right to you?
Unlimited lives or limited?
Do you wish bosses had more hp?
Is the default music settings too low or too high?
enjoyed the game and just want to boost my fragile self esteem by sharing your favorite parts?
LAY IT ON ME

I also gotta say this forum has been especially helpful, the open source work of different gamemaker's has helped me learn to code smups. So thank you.

Haven't given this a try yet (I just downloaded it) but I want to say that this:
"Blood is constantly dribbling out of your duck head.You can't stop the blood from leaking out! But you can with the action button hold your mouth closed, building the blood up in your beak, expanding and then releasing to force your shots forward. More charge=more damage and size but also less distance, UNTIL your mouth fills up beyond bursting and blood squirts everywhere."
is the best premise for a game I've seen in a long time.

Thank you! I hope you enjoy the game. There is a learning curve to mastering such a weird power but its really satisfying once you get the hang of it.
I'm really interested what you guys think of the game, as it turns a lot of shmup conventions on their head.

I buffed up the guide by adding animated gif's and reorganizing its layout a bit.
