What shmup are you playing now?

ooh 3x screen Darius

Oh I don't mean 3 actual screens. I just meant getting MAME to do it... which turned out to be super easy.

Gundemonium Recollection

Got it on Steam. Undecided on this one. Cute characters but the game is slow and the spites are way too huge. It also looks like crap in full-screen.

try Hitogata Happa. It's the best of the 3. Super hard. I was proud of myself for 1CC'ing... the first boss.

I didn't care for any of them at first, then once I understood Hitogatta I really liked it. It's a tough game, i've been to stage 4 - that stage is unreal.

The other 2 both grew on me once I understood scoring and gameplay better. They are both pretty unique and yeah the hitbox, characters, and bullets are huge - this has pros and cons, but I appreciated the uniqueness of it.

Quite. I've been on a shmup craze as of recent, particularly for these 2 platforms. Mostly a result of an old friend of mine.

Been playing some ALLTYNEX Second lately. I like the melee attacks in it, though I do tend to get greedy with those. =p It has a neat lock-on attack a la Soukyugurentai as well.

That's one of my favorite recent shmups. I'm god awful at it, as I am with most shmups, but it's SO much fun. And I agree about the melee attacks - they're AMAZING, but I definitely get too ambitious with them, and that gets me into trouble.
