Elite Dasher

Elite Dasher is a top-down bullet hell shooter game with rogue-lite elements.  However, your hp bar/radiation level is your resources. Firing weapon increases radiation. When radiation reaches 100%, you die.

Dash is an important mechanic. Perform a perfect evade - dashing into enemy/bullet decrease radiation. Every stage, you gain 1 augment level: Alpha / Delta / Gamma, which affects your playstyle and weapon performance. What you gain is dependent on how you perform your dashes each stage.

You get two new weapons every stage. Don't like current ones? Switch. Go nut. (I totally balanced them fairly)
