I agree with Muna
Way too much time put into graphics. The controls were sluggish and poorly placed, stage weapons were basically "Miss and be screwed forever" attacks intead of what they should have been (powerful weapons based on where you are), the boss music was so horrible oh my god, and the game overall had no ingenuity whatsoever beyond the textbook story. Next time I would DEFINATELY have somebody else write the game while you stick to what you're good at: graphics. There's a reason games have teams for each aspect.
