It's so beautiful. Music super good. I like how it's a pure bullet hell w/o gimmicks/extra mechanics. I didn't love the slowdown, felt excessive and not needed in novice mode at least but maybe there's nothing they could do about that? idk, maybe it was Xenia running Poorly? Where as with akai...

The time finally came to take on a beast of the genre: Battle Garegga, made by Raizing. There are few games as revered and as scary to jump into. But there are modes on the Shmup Beginners List, so clearly there are more approachable modes. I started by playing Premium, which is a new arrange that...

I 1CCed Terarin's Blaze of Storm on Normal tonight on my first playthrough. I did the caravan mode first and then took on the arcade challenge. His bosses have improved greatly since Raging Blasters, as have his art skills. Blaze of Storm is stylish and relentless. There's often no downtime and...

I got my Normal mode 1CC in Terarin's Raging Blasters tonight. Really excellent game! Quickly became one of my favorite shmups I've played so far. It took me about four days of practice, and I loved that I could tell I was getting better and learning the stages. I had a pretty bad run where I was...

Freeware shmup, possibly a remaster/remake? Inventive laser use near end. Cleared on first try. The game uses a life bar, which was a first for me. Kind of surprising/strange mechanic. Not usual. Not sure if I'll go back and play it on harder difficulties. Steam link:...

Fun! Felt like dev's first serious attempt at a shmup; enemies a bit unbalanced but enjoyable overall. 2nd stage boss is much tankier than the rest. Took me a few tries to get the clear. Solid execution of the horizontal and backward shooting. Excited to play more of Terarin's games. Even if it...

Cleared on first try. Really intense and epic. Incredible visuals, like maybe the most visually impressive shmup I've played so far. Fun, want to replay. I like the coins and unlocks that don't impact gameplay, fun way to get me to want to replay the game. The visual signals of incoming enemies...
