Cool. Also you've got to take into consideration the hit area of the laser/bullet, the collision detection on the lasers are probably only half the size of what they look.

If those lasers didn't glow, the hit area would've been full anyway.

Those backgrounds, that music, that boss.... I dunno I just love playing that boss level. I'd love to have a video of someone playing on that boss stage, if anyone knows where to get it, please send it. :)

Oh yeah, that hitbox is incredible.

^^^ The moving background and the music immediately reminded me of Silvergun. Of course, both being by Treasure, it's not much of a wonder why.
