Recomended by Cold_Comfort on this list

I'll be the first one to admit I suck at shmups, but this was a really fun experience.
The art style carried the game really hard for me. Pretty cute in some aspects but with really good readability with the enemies.
it also feels really good whenever you are the one feeling the screen with bullets, like taking the fight back to them instead of constantly dodging and barely scrapping by. The only thing I can really take against is that I can't remember a single song on the soundtrack save for the looping scream of children at the end of your run.
Overall a pretty fun experience that's really easy to emulate unless you're as dumb as me and need to get someone to help you get it running. Runs like a dream in shmupmame tho
