STAND STILL you little $£|+s !!! . Frenetic motion is the key property of #shmandala - enemies dance and jive in a way that gives things a unique trippy feel- like some sort of technicolor fever dream that you experience after you’ve been stung by an neon striped African jungle wasp. . #shmuplyf
And then #xxgameroom drops #edenseclipse in the same week… fine fine, you got me, there are two things I need from bullet fest. . #shmuplyf #shmups #bullethell
As far as I’m concerned there is only one thing worth getting from steam bullet fest - and that’s the Infinity Lancer demo. Oh boy - the realest of #shmup. So much love <3

Sai Dai Err What?…
DoDonPachi Sai Dai Ou Jou is out on Switch and it’s great, but I seem to get bugs regardless of where I play it (and I’m not just talking about bees).Playing through level 5 of the 360 Arrange one of the enemies was refercing the wrong part of the sprite sheet so ended up being attacked by a fluxing Missingno cloud. But to be honest I really appreciate these unique moments - when the curtain drops and you see how it all comes together there is a real appreciation

Viper Phase 1 is a great credit feeder to journey through a detailed hard SF world. www.uchikudake.com/post/viper-p... #shmups #viperphase1 #seibukaihatsu #uchikudake
Viper: Phase 1 - Archive Accessed
Viper: Phase 1 is a great credit feeder. Sure, you might want to learn it and score it, but it’s also just an amazing voyage set in a world of hard-science space design, with booster rockets and NASA-like paneled metal (also makes me think of hardSF anime like Planetes and Magnetic Rose. In a genre with a lot of ‘flanges for fun over function’ this aesthetic stands out. There is also some great foreshadowing and in general spatial storytelling. Just jam in a stack of coins and see how many great
