It's more twinbee! No horizontal stages like what Moero had, which was what I expected. The game definitely has that late famicom feel to it in its presentation as things are colorful and detailed. This game is hella easier than the first two, I'll tell you that for sure. I 1CC'd this game on the "らくらく" difficulty on my first shot, didn't even need to increase the amount of lives I had or anything. However, on "じごく..." difficulty I did get a game over on the last level so perhaps shmup veterans should crank the difficulty up. They rebalanced everything by making it trivially easy to get the speed up from bells which makes powering up quickly a snap. Twinbee controls really fluidly but some of the enemies kinda chop around when they move so yea. This is probably a much better starting point into the series than 1 or moero since 1 is really hard and moero has those horizontal stages that aren't done in the series again. I hope the sequels keep the balance changes to the powerups while tuning the difficulty to be between easy and hard.
