This was fun, but I kept running into an issue - often I would go down shooting, the death screen would instantly pop up, and I'd accidentally click an upgrade without meaning to, throwing me immediately back into it. That problem added a lot of frustration and chaos.
That said, this is super smooth and snappy! Once I kept a better eye on my health, I really loved the grindy pattern of taking a breath, choosing an upgrade, and diving right back in! I also really like the concept - using a phoenix as the player character really lends well to the way you literally keep coming back.
