The key for mastering any danmaku game is not to be fooled by the size of bullets and your own sprite, collision boxes are smaller.
The second key is never get distracted by far away objects. What matters is what's near you, the rest is just that: a distraction.
A common mistake for us beginners is to stay lower on the screen rarely moving, the more you stay at one point, the more bullets will come towards you.
And for last but not less important, have patience and practice. As you practice you'll find out is not that hard. Though, as in any old school game, you'll die and a lot. But the self reward is worth if you value that kind of entertainment. Who needs trophies and achievements?
