You're never underpowered, no speed up's, score's irrelevant but you can see 'chain go up = bigger score', tiny yet obvious hitbox, no weird rank, lots of bombs, an exciting challenge every second

I'll keep saying this over & over - nobody got into shmups to play novice modes. They got into them because they saw Hibachi, Larsa, an Ikaruga double play or something like that. Devs gotta be confident & have a punk attitude & spend less time thinking about novices

Some modern STGs are conscious of possibly being anyone's first arcade scrolling shooter, and bend themselves into knots trying to be an entire genre tutorial before being their own identifiable game.
As ever, make the games/music/videos/writing you'd want to enjoy, and others will enjoy it too.

fuck off you annoying sniveling prick🤡
Yeah and using clown emoji’s totally screams maturity. Also yes, the “no one bought it excuse” when people clearly bought said product from Bitwave on PC. I am nowhere near as kind to people who lack basic empathy.

This remains one of the STUPIDIST games of all time & I mean that in the best way possible
Tepidsnake streamed Streets of Rage 2 last night & by the final boss they'd killed about 450 enemies in an hour. In the 5 min Karate Blazers Caravan, the best scores will be around 140-150 kills

As the most hardcore Ikaruga fan in existence, as it is easily the best & most representative game in the STG bullet hell danmaku maniac genre ( we call them schmups for short), I simply cannot believe they haven't made one with the iconic 'ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US' from the arcade game on it😢

Legend says that if you overlay the way too fast Truxton Mega Drive port OST on top of R-Type Delta HD Boosted gameplay, the tunes end at exactly the correct time
A coincidence or part of a deeper speed based conspiracy? What are they planning?🤔

Truxton MD FM Sound will be running 40% too fast at all times so please ensure your truck has the extra 'oops, we botched that bit of the port & didn't notice in time' insurance coverage before starting

It's Winter Carrot Day in Japan
Here's why Namco went with their 'Carrot' naming convention for their arcades in 1980
With their new unified style of arcade branding, which had never been done before, they wanted a symbol that represented 'freshness' as arcades were viewed as dirty, seedy places🥕
