My SMS emulator isn't as nifty as most of my other ones, so save scumming would have been a chore. Still, this is another shmup that doesn't do anything exciting. There's more variety than some of the other 1980s shmups (See Salamander), but it still feels pretty barren. The anime aesthetic is a neat change of pace from most but that's the extent of my interest. The backgrounds are pretty busy, which makes this one harder than others to me. Perhaps the MSX version runs better, but I have no desire to try and get an MSX emulator running given my issues in the past. 2/6
