Gameplay
Elements
Each rod and enemy has an element, designated by their colour. Rods deal less damage to enemies with an element they're weak against and more damage to enemies with an element they're strong against. The strengths are as follows:
Fire (Red) > Wood (Green) > Earth (Yellow) > Thunder (Purple) > Water (Blue) > Fire
Effects
Each rod can have up to three extra effects. Since there's no description for these in game, here's what each of them does:
Scatter | Fires three shots. Damage is split among the shots |
Critical | Shots have 10% chance of dealing triple damage |
Speed | Shots move faster |
Bounce | Shots bounce off walls up to two times |
Pierce | Shots pass through the first enemy they hit |

Great game! screenshake is a bit too much, and unfortunately you can't change music volume while during the playthrough, but apart from that its a very good game!
Thanks!
You can change the level of screenshake via the general settings on the title screen. Though that plus the music volume issue brings up a good point that settings should be accessible mid-game. Next update, maybe.
This was a great time. I just saw there was an update...
