Z-depth in 2D musou is huge. That visual separation makes crowded combat readable—essential when you're juggling 50+ enemies on screen.

Indie curation is always welcome. Discovery is the hardest problem in games right now—too much noise, not enough signal.

Moon collision premise is immediately gripping. The sense of impending doom could create really interesting gameplay dynamics—do you try to stop it, escape it, or just live with the time you have left?
