pretty neat shmup :>
especially on a game boy color it looks pretty

sort of boring and and irritating at the same time, but compared to other GB shooters, its visual design is crystal clear (especially on the GBCs color scheme) and the movement is snappy. it became my "does my modded Gameboy randomly turn off?" game until I fixed the problem

This is GameBoy, to me. Simplicity. A pleasant nostalgia trip. Looks rad in colour mode too.

A very simple shmup with 6 stages. The boss of the stage 4 is the hardest part by far for some reason. There is very little to say about this game... maybe the most interesting thing about it is that Gunpei Yokoi produced it.

A shmup lullaby with the pacing of Goodnight, Moon. One step forward from Galaga's picture book. Nintendo's blackest sheep. I had been struggling with this one for a week, trying at least a dozen times each day but never getting past Level 5. Then I had sex and to cool off picked it up again only to beat it on my first attempt (with 5 lives left)! Having trouble with your widdle game, bros? Get laid. Seriously.

The quintessential Game Boy shooter; feels like I may have actually played this back in the day. Responsive and somehow soothing.
