* OurFairiesAreDifferent: Not only do they have butterfly wings, and are strong enough to carry a single bird in their arms for an extended period of time, they can steal powers from enemy machines, which then take forms reminiscent of ''VideoGame/Gradius'' [[AttackDrone Options]].

* HitboxDissonance: The only important part of the player that matters is the fairy's body. The bird being carried and the wings don't actually count.

* ItSEasySoItSucks: Compared to the ''Franchise/TouhouProject'', at least. But given [[NintendoHard how difficult that game series is in general]], that's a pretty high bar.

'''The Last Canopy''' is a BulletHell flash game by [[https://jayisgames.com/tag/easyonlygames Easy Only! Games]]. It was a submission for the Jayis Casual Game Design Competition #5, centered around the theme "upgrade", and has been selected as the winner for that competition.

The setting is a ruined world where a single tree—[[TitleDrop the last canopy]]—still stands, protected by a race of butterfly-winged fairies with the power to absorb energy from their foes. You control one of these fairies on this heroic quest to return a fallen bird to its nest. [[ExcusePlot This mostly nonsensical story serves as an excuse]] for you to battle an army of hostile vehicles through four bullet-drenched levels, each capped off by an intense boss encounter.

In this unique shooter, you start off with weak firepower, so absorb the enemy’s attack and make it your own!

Avoid, Absorb, Attack!

{{Website/Kongregate}} also selected this game for Buried Treasure Week.

[[WMG:This game provides examples of:]]

* BulletHell: Among the first Flash games of this genre.
* ContinuingIsPainful: When you die, you lose all your copied powers, which can be a real pain, especially in boss battles.
* ExcusePlot: Take the bird to the tree, fight construction drones along the way, and take their powers.
* HitboxDissonance: The only important part of the player that matters is the fairy's body. The bird being carried and the wings don't actually count.
* IdiosyncraticDifficultyLevels: They're as follows as they follow this blurb: "I want to save this bird…"
** "…but I'm scared of heights." - [[EasierThanEasy 99 Lives]]
** "…I think I can do it." - Normal (30 Lives)
** "…by any means necessary." - Hard (15 Lives)
** "…at the cost of my life!" - [[HarderThanHard You're Nuts!]] (1 Life)
* ItSEasySoItSucks: Compared to the ''Franchise/TouhouProject'', at least. But given [[NintendoHard how difficult that game series is in general]], that's a pretty high bar.
* OurFairiesAreDifferent: Not only do they have butterfly wings, and are strong enough to carry a single bird in their arms, they can steal powers from enemy machines, which then take forms reminiscent of ''VideoGame/Gradius'' [[AttackDrone Options]].
* PowerCopying: Your fairy character can do this, and store them in orbs that follow like an [[VideoGame/{{Gradius}} Option]]. However, the rarer the enemy you're stealing its powers from, the longer it takes, which can leave you vulnerable. Additionally, these orbs gradually lose their strength, fading from green to yellow to red to empty, so you have to constantly refresh them by stealing new powers.
