Better as a count-the-shmup-references game than ZeroRanger, and a better Thunder Force game than any Thunder Force that I've played. A very bright and bold little shooter that packs a simple but punchy scoring system (kill enemies fast!!) and a bunch of style considering its very homebrew, minimal-pixels aesthetic.

This shit is free and I'm guessing it will run on anything, so run don't walk if you're craving a little console-STG-flavored action. https://zakichi.itch.io/vastynex
