I just got Gaiares

[Anayo]

I've played Gaiares some more. Man that game is hard! It reminds me of Contra 4 cause you really kind of need fully upgraded weapons if you expect to get ahead. It stinks to unexpectedly die and get downgraded to a pathetic little pea shooter in the middle of a firestorm. I always end up dying at least three more times after that before I can get sufficiently upgraded again.
