What do you get when you cross a bullet hell shooter and Gradius?
Gradius V!
And personally, I love the hybridization, with the tiny hitbox all kinds of awesome maneuvers become possible. And speaking of awesome, this game really looks and sounds that way, for an early-mid 2000s piece.
Level 4 might have been slimy, but that doesn't mean this one isn't, what with the copious amounts of burrowing in radioactive goop. And to top it all off, another boss rush!
