Anyone remember this one? I always liked the free rotating world and the movement of homing missiles.
This is my attempt at reimplementation of reimagined Seek & Destroy. It's not a carbon copy of the original but also not a completely different game. I tried to keep an essence but spice the rest.
I would be very happy for feedback or your personal memories of playing this back then.
Curious to know what people think of the game and if the design is on the right track. Please let me you know if you have any feedback!

I'm making a reimagining of the 1942/1943/19XX games. Because so many of the design choices were made before I actually knew anything about traditional shmup design, I found I was committing typical euroshmup sins: acceleration, health and armor, etc. It seems the root problem of the euroshmup design choices is that they clash with the core mechanic of tradtitional shmups: microdoging. So instead of removing the euroshmup elements, I decided to get rid of bullet patterns and micrododging entirely.
Just got my second DDP DOJ White Label 1ALL 1CC! This one feels way better than my first with Shotia. Actually learned Stage 5 this time instead of just bombing through it to survive. Finally satisfied enough to put this down and find my next shmup to grind or perhaps time to look at a 2ALL lol...? 🐝
i'm doing esgaluda 1. 1 cc and aaah ! once i'm at the end it's give me a lot of stress (stage 5) i already 2 cc the game and i had less stress. today i think i'm gonna practice more some section at the end and see.. but if you have some tips i'm taker
Batrider is my favorite announcement ever. But Boogie Wings is right up there as well. I'm so excited!!! They also have Boogie's cousin, Cliffhanger: Edward Randy, which is fantastic as well. 😍
I am a console player. I have had my eye on Birdcage and Shockwave Triggers. I finally got Birdcage when it released not long ago on consoles and I did not like it at all. Now Shockwave is about to release so I would like to hear what people think of it, so how is Shockwave Triggers?
I'm looking for a old single-player side-scrolling shoot 'em up (shmup) game set in space. Here are the key details I remember: Scroll Direction: Side-scrolling (moves right to left). Art Style & Graphics: High-quality pixel art with a gritty, worn-down, and rusty aesthetic. The texture and detail are comparable to Metal Slug, with pixel work even more refined and detailed than Blazing Star. Gameplay Mechanics: Boss fights feature destructible turrets/parts that can be destroyed individually. Environmental elements like asteroids in space can be destroyed. Level Progression: Highly pure level progression with no character portraits or visual cutscenes (unconfirmed). Unverified Line: An early stage might involve entering or flying inside a large spaceship (take this with a grain of salt). Already Excluded / Not these games: Sterdenn, Gradius series, Blazing Star, Pulstar, Stargunner, Jets'n'Guns, Söldner-X: Himmelsstürmer, Steel Empire, Sine Mora, Astrobatics, Absolute Blue, Hyper Sentinel, Metal Black, Raiden X, Hydorah, Intensity XS: ReCharge, Nebula Fighter, SideLine, Steel Saviour, Redux: Dark Matters, ProtoType II. Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Hi everyone,
I've been working on a vertical scrolling shmup called Shmup!, and I've just launched the Steam page ahead of the upcoming demo release.
It's an arcade-style score attack shooter inspired by the classics, with online leaderboards, multiple shot types, and six unique special abilities that significantly change how you approach a run. One of my goals is to encourage replayability by having players experiment with different weapon/special combinations while chasing higher scores.
Current features of the demo include:
The demo is coming soon and I'd love to hear what fellow shmup fans think about the Steam page, screenshots, and overall presentation.

Any feedback, criticism, or suggestions are welcome. Thanks for taking a look!
Who is excited like me i really like muchi muchi pork so I excited for more people to play it and and pink sweets has a great arrangement in it
when you only fire shots in ikaruga where the game calls for it, yOu realize the enemies really just want to see wHat's up and show off some cute little lasers they have.
better use the revolutionary polarity switch or else yOu might actually have a bullet or two to dodge and stArt learning how a shmup works.
enemies pass you casually at these intersections in your sleepy little animal crossing town of micro machines. thought it was a shmup. not a driving sim at a dip 'n dots factory
(stage 2 on hard mode. no-miss up to the bOss. practiced for only a few minutes before being able tO pull this half-assed stage 2 clear as a joke.)
I play a decent amount of Crimzon Clover and it is my only shmup. I can do the 1cc of novice original very consistently, and am having fun working toward 1cc'ing arcade original. Hitting a wall with the stage 3 boss, and wanting to try another shmup for some variety. If I love everything about Crimzon Clover, which shmup should I try next? Danmaku unlimited 3, gunvein, and rolling gunner look good.
Hope a bunch of you are playing Muchi Muchi Pork and Pink Sweets! New releases are always fun. If you are checking out MMP for the first time or returning to it, I put together this commentary run to hopefully give you some helpful information on your journey to a 1CC and beyond.
I’ve been hopping around way too much for my own liking. But there’s so many cool shmups I cant help but want to dip my toes in a bunch. It’s hard to know which one to stick with! How do you choose?!
Also, bonus question for anybody who wants to answer:
I just got an arcade stick and I’m finding the transition from dpad kinda tricky. Any tips?
