Back in December, @hbgameclub held a #SHMUP competition, and I was introduced to Dangan GB2 (https://snorpung.itch.io/dangan-gb2). If you're not familiar, it's a bullet hell boss rush SHMUP for the Game Boy Color.
No, wait, come back! It's good!
It's good, and it's also hard. Deliberately so -- if you want an addictive challenge, it's a great choice. The boss design is awesome. Well, as far as I know they're all awesome ... I've only ever gotten to the third stage.
The latest in City Connection's Saturn Tribute line, Assault Suit Leynos 2, is on sale now in the West on Xbox and Steam — complete with a new English localization handled by Chilloc! Get the details in my story here:
PRAXIS FIGHTER X shows pretty well both the chances and limits of following a traditional formula as a single game developer: It is rock solid in any aspect, and even good in some – but within a genre that is so rich of great and colorful games, many of them more experimental in both gameplay and sound, a bit more boldness in design-decisions on every layer might have been better – and ironically this is underlined by the very fact that it does everything it actually does probably as good as one can possibly expect from an underground game production. If you don’t mind the formulaic gameplay the likeable story, the very well polished gameplay, and the overall high quality make it a great pick for underground gaming enthusiasts and shoot ‚em up veterans alike.
This week we're putting the bullet into bullet hell with the hit SHMUP roguelike shooter Star of Providence!
Originally titled "Monolith", this NES-inspired modern retro shooter has it all: ghosts, mages, cybernetic constructs, giant spinning razor weapons, and of course: a talking cat.

Blast Wind is a shmup STG by Technosoft for the Sega Saturn released in 1997. Meant for arcades in 1993, it failed its location test and missed its advertised release date, was retooled as Inazuma Saber, which also failed its location test, and finally landed on Saturn. #Shmup#Shmups#ShootingGames#RetroGaming
