I feel a bit unsatisfied just beating stage 2 and getting congratulated! It only took three tries, so I think I was expecting more ;P
To be honest I think it's quite well-balanced for the time you had. Might be too hard if you aren't good with STGs, but what you have isn't anywhere near an objectionable difficulty. The main difficulties in the second stage came from the red H-shaped enemies firing in stacked V patterns. I think you should have used some different spawning patterns for these and made them come from the right as well. Also, the second boss was way easier than the first and was much too short.
Solid job for 48 hours, was quite fun. Best controls and most polished STG I've experienced so far in Ludum.
