Everything before Stage 4 is usually so fucking boring, I actually think 20 is good in that regard. Gets going right from the start, doesn't give you a million resources and you do have to dodge a few things. Compared to every game since 15 I definitely do think it will be fun, but there's also a chance that the bullet sponge enemies + pyramids will fuck it up. It's at least doable early on.
Anyway like some have said here already, shoutouts to Blue Revolver. Fun as hell.
