Barging in to say I remember NO REFUGE

Fun factoid i heard is that the characters that show up when you get to a boss, between the warning and boss description, are all mantras or tantric chants, maybe supposed to be in Sanskrit, but i don't know which. I'm p sure all the bosses and levels are based around this concept.

Every time you get to a boss you're pretty much spinning a prayer wheel i guess, so if you play Ikaruga enough times you'll attain radiant crystalline perfection form and surpass all bullet hells
