How Long Is Moon Cresta?

Very dynamic and with great sound design
This review is for the Arcade version
I am not exactly a fan of fixed shooters but among those I've played so far this is by far the most interesting in a lot of ways, highly dynamic. I actually enjoy the docking and different sequences and such. And the sound design is great, the effects are almost musical in a way.
Some have praised the interlude docking segments as making it stand out among Galaxian, Galaga, etc. But I've never been the fan of the delicately-dock-the-ship gameplay, most of all in the middle of a shoot em up. Plus the wait between shooting makes the game feel tedious. That being said, it's a solid fixed shoot em up, with complex enemy mechanics and an overall good game. I got through 2 interlude docking parts, then read that it cycles infinitely, and decided to move on.
