I think if you leave this one to sit a bit and take your time it comes across a bit less burnt and becomes a bit more interesting. I still think it's probably best in something like a mocha, it's quite bitter which could give it a bit more of a dark chocolate feel.

I also think this fits Gaiares a bit. There's actually quite a bit to unpack in it but if you don't already like a side scrolling shmup it's a lot like every other one.
