Cygni isn’t here to hold your hand.
It is more likely to smash it with a hammer.
Cygni is a gripping bullet hell shmup that manages to thrill despite its ho-hum aesthetic sensibilities.
For starters, it is presented in a really fun and novel way.
It will also familiarize you with all the weapon types, and how to engage them.
Keep on the lookout for the gaps in between bullets, and position your ship in those gaps.

During the time that shield is up, you will be invincible.

These shot patterns are excellent for certain boss encounters!
