A fun shootemup game that has a lot of challenge to it and some puzzle elements too. A little tricky with a keyboard and I am sure even better with a controller.

This shmup is boring, and when you die, you have to crawl through the entire stage all over again.

A fun side-scrolling shooter that is heavily inspired from the era in its title 1993. It has lovely pixel art and some quality of life features that make it much less frustrating than original games of that time: you have unlimited lives and the times you die only reflects itself in the score. You can buy weapons and swap them out with others without having to sell them. There is a fixed amount of credits to be earned in each level and you don't have to go back to grind or harvest - in fact you can't. I played it on the medium difficulty level and finished it in a good 2h.

Feb. 2024

Surprisingly good retro styled side scrolling shoot'em up. Has a Bitmap brothers vibe and plays well. A recommend if on sale as the game is short and replay value could be better. High score tables/ leaderboards would be a welcome addition.
