Once i figured out what I was doing I had fun playing this.  The polarity / absorption mechanic worked well for a bullet hell.  The music added a lot of energy as well.

I had a really fun time. I was a bit confused at first, and it took me a bit to figure out how everything worked. I really like the music though, and it's a cool twist on a bullet hell.
