I've been on a shmup binge the past two weeks, so figured I'd play a few sessions of Truxton to participate a bit more.
I'm not good at the game yet, but played for about two hours on the easy difficulty. I like the power-up system in the game, and the graphics are pretty colorful which I appreciate. My only issue with the colorful backgrounds is sometimes I have difficulty seeing the orange bullets over certain backgrounds. Also, another problem for me is all the enemies that come from behind -- in certain sections this killed me a lot. With more playthroughs, I'll hopefully have a better idea of where I need to be to avoid those specific enemies. Also, I find the music to be relaxing, it's a good contrast with all the action on screen, IMO.
I was able to get up to the large blue boss (?) in Stage 2, Round 1, but he kept kicking my ass. I just couldn't execute the pattern I needed to, to get past this section. I'll most likely play it a bit more throughout the week, and hopefully can get a bit further.
