I wanted to take the time to review this game since it doesn't have that much coverage, and I personally enjoyed my time playing.
Marimoth is a Galaga-style bullet hell that runs for about 5 levels and 5 bosses, with 3 powerups and 1-2 potential revives. It's really fun! It's simple and easy to understand, there's the constant tug of war between wanting to dive for coins and dodging bullets, as one who doesn't typically play these kinds of games, I was pleasantly surprised.
I also took the time to earn and complete the secret level, which was a great challenge that put my skills to the test. In order to get to the secret level you have to play levels 1-4 without getting hit. I had to change my entire play-style to adapt to this. I would precisely shoot down enemies in the first stage to farm for coins, hoping to earn an upgrade per level in order to focus solely on dodging by the fourth stage.
Although, thank god you don't have to flawless the fifth stage- cause it highlights a couple of my main gripes with the game. Some things are just impossible to dodge lol. There are enemies that move/shoot almost completely horizontal, forcing you into a corner where you can be easily targeted by any of the homing units or overwhelmed by any of the spread shot ones. My other gripes are little things like problems with visual clarity, coins flying all the way across the screen so you can't catch them, or that tabbing in and out is a little bit finicky.
But other than that, solid game.
